By now you've probably seen the viral meme of the dancing pallbearers at a funeral in Ghana.
It's probably one of the best and funniest memes to emerge this year and his inspired many jokes and iterations.
Â
You get the idea. It's a harmless bit of fun and just a joke that should in no way be linked to more serious topics.
However, there are always a few that will spoil it for others and in this case, it is a TikTok video, which has since been deleted, of what appears to be nurses recreating the meme with a Covid-19 body bag.
Â
According to the Daily Mail, this video was reportedly made in San Juan, Puerto Rico and has caused outrage after as many deemed it to be in bad taste.
Â
One defender of the video claimed that the nurses were dancing with a body that was supposed to represent Covid-19 and not an actual person.
Â
This is hardly the first time that healthcare workers have landed themselves in trouble during the pandemic for making a viral video.
