About

After 2 Weeks and Multiple Health Screens, also known as Kim Kardashian's 40th Birthday Party, is a Twitter copypasta mocking a tweet by Kim Kardashian West revealing that she had taken her "inner circle" to a private island for her 40th birthday to "pretend things were normal" during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. The tweet was widely mocked by those who felt it was out-of-touch and appeared to be flaunting wealth in a distasteful manner.

Origin

On October 27th, 2020, West posted a series of photographs on Twitter^[1] from a trip she took with close friends and family at a private island to celebrate her 40th birthday. In one of the tweets, West announced that "After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time" (shown below). That day, the tweet gathered more than 16,000 quote tweets, 12,000 likes and 500 retweets.

Spread

That day, comedian Patton Oswalt posted the tweet^[2] along with a photograph of the character Dr. Moreau (played by Marlon Brando) in the 1996 science fiction horror film The Island of Dr. Moreau (shown below, left). Meanwhile, Twitter^[3] user @mattdpearce tweeted a picture of the 1993 puzzle adventure game Myst along with the copypasta (shown below, right).

Also on October 27th, Twitter^[4] user @yashar posted a picture of the character Chuck Noland (played by Tom Hanks) in the 2000 survival drama film Cast Away accompanied by the original Kim Kardashian West tweet (shown below).
