No Spinoff Brochacho Hantavirus Disappears Meme

Hantavirus disappear after no one give a fuck about it
Overview
This meme features the widely used sad, dejected anthropomorphic ant character walking slowly away while carrying a stick slung over its shoulder with a blue cloth bindle tied to the far end. The text below the ant reads "Hantavirus disappear after no one give a fuck about it", making a sarcastic joke referencing the 2020 news cycle: hantavirus was briefly a trending public health topic shortly after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, but quickly faded from public discourse as people stopped paying attention to it, so it is portrayed metaphorically leaving dejectedly.
Origin notes
This meme was shared as an RSS entry from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, with the original post title "No spinoff brochacho". It edits the pre-existing "sad ant leaving with bindle" meme template to add the hantavirus joke text, and features an imgflip.com watermark, meaning it was likely created using the Imgflip meme generator before being reposted to Reddit. It circulated widely in 2020 alongside other pandemic-related humor referencing short-lived public panic around lesser-known diseases.
