About
Coronavirus Response Plan is an exploitable photoshop meme featuring a screen-captured image of Dr. Deborah Birx holding a poster board containing a flow chart titled "Coronavirus Testing" during a press conference held by the Trump administration in mid-March 2020.
Origin
On March 13th, 2020, the White House held a press conference in which it declared the coronavirus outbreak a national emergency.[2] During the press conference, Ambassador Deborah Birx held up a flow chart outlining plans for "drive-by" coronavirus testing (shown below).
Spread
On March 13th, 2020, the @TheDailyShow[1] Twitter feed posted a photoshopped version of the image with the words "We're Fucked" superimposed on the poster board (shown below).
