Immune System Overreaction to Virus Meme

This meme jokes about the human immune system's overzealous response to invading viruses. The top text sets up the scenario: '~ a virus enters my body ~ my immune system:'. Below this text is a medical illustration of a transparent human upper torso showing the skeleton and circulatory system. Placed inside the torso is the popular small smiling light-colored dog meme, which is holding a large flamethrower-style heating device marked '40 °C'. The text below the dog reads 'either you go away or we all go away', referencing how the immune system often induces a high, potentially dangerous fever to kill off viruses, even if it risks harming the host body in the process.
