Someone had the best reaction to anti-lockdown protestors: driving a remote-controlled virus model around them during a demonstration in Wisconsin. While the US government has urged people to stay at home to help curb the spread of the novel coronavirus - in order to save lives - some people have taken it upon themselves to protest the measures. Last Friday, on the 24th April, a couple thousand people gathered in Madison, Wisconsin, to protest stay-at-home orders and the fact that Gov. Tony Evers has extended them until the 26th of May. Similar demonstrations have taken place across the US, but this was one of the nation's largest to date. The event was reportedly referred to as some as the "Let's share COVID-19 rally". However, one person, who has remained unidentified, found a rather interesting way to hit back at the protestors; creating a remote-controlled "coronavirus", which featured a round, grey mass and red spikes. It's now known as the "Covidbot". The prankster then proceeded to drive it around the protest, and even chased a few demonstrators that had gathered in the area. Watch footage from the event, which shows the person controlling it standing a safe distance from the crowd:  [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=55&v=jaPI-1F9aGY&feature=emb_logo]] As the Covidbot made its way through protestors at the demonstration, it served as a stark reminder of how quickly COVID-19 can be transmitted from person to person.

Watch the Covidbot in action once more:  [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DOD0Jqmfig&feature=emb_logo]] We are urging all of our readers to adhere to the advice from their respective governments and medical bodies, and practice social distancing and self-isolation where required. Together, we will beat this.
