This meme features a news headline stating a nurse earned $1.5 million selling fake COVID-19 vaccination cards and was only fined $544,000, paired with the nurse's mugshot and an example of a fake vaccine record card. Below the news content, a Twitter/X user with the display name "Not Jerome Powell" comments "Nice way to make a million". The sarcastic joke relies on the simple calculation that after paying the fine, the nurse still retains roughly $956,000 in profit from the illegal activity, effectively netting her close to a million dollars total.

This single-panel comic meme depicts an office scene: a woman holding a phone looks shocked as she announces that a rodent-borne disease has infected 6 people on a ship and killed 3. A man next to her looks equally shocked as he peels a calendar page marked January 1346 to reveal the current year is 2026. The joke plays on the famous saying that "history never repeats, but it does rhyme", referencing that 1346 marked the start of the spread of the Black Death (bubonic plague, a rodent-borne disease that spread across Europe via trade ships) to imply that a similar pandemic event is repeating in the modern day.

This meme features the four classic 1960s *Spider-Man* animated series villains (the cast of the popular 'Me and the Boys' meme template) superimposed as semi-transparent, ghost-like figures over a background of overgrown Aztec ruins in a jungle setting. White text at the top of the image reads 'Two european cruises struck by two continental American viruses'. The joke leans into dark historical satire: it frames viruses originating from the Americas impacting European cruises as payback for European colonizers bringing foreign diseases that killed huge portions of Indigenous Mesoamerican (including Aztec) populations after arriving in the Americas, with the cartoon villains representing the vengeful Aztec spirits referenced in the title.

This single panel meme features text at the top that reads 'I, who lived my best life during lockdown, hear about hantavirus:'. Below the text is a slouched Flork of Cows style stick figure wearing a face mask, gesturing limply at a 3D rendered model of the hantavirus particle, with text next to the figure that says 'C'mon, do something...'. The joke is rooted in sarcastic exasperation from people who preferred the low-social-pressure, stay-at-home routine of COVID-19 lockdowns, reacting to news of another potential pandemic virus as if inviting it to start the next round of restrictions already, rather than going through more uncertainty of returning to normal life.

This is a reaction meme using a screenshot from *Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker*. The top text reads 'News in these last days be like...', and the bottom text modifies the original film line 'Somehow Palpatine returned' to 'Somehow Pandemic returned'. The central character, Poe Dameron, wears a shocked, exasperated expression as he stands with a group of other characters behind him. The meme satirizes the recurring news cycle of announcing new pandemic concerns after much of the public assumed the public health crisis was fully resolved.

This animated meme shows a sequence of events: first, an empty public deck on a cruise ship is displayed, followed by an anime girl in tactical military armor and a helmet aiming a heavy grenade launcher at the empty deck area. The entire deck then erupts in a massive, fiery explosion, and finally the girl peeks out from behind cover with a satisfied, smug expression. The overlaid text jokes that this is the reaction of the poster and their friend when they locate the last remaining person on a cruise ship, as they are determined to avoid another global pandemic. The joke references the widespread COVID-19 outbreaks that occurred on cruise ships in the early days of the 2020 global pandemic, using dark humor to joke about taking extreme measures to stop the spread of disease and prevent another pandemic.

This is a reaction meme using the classic Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 'Ah shit, here we go again' template. It shows the game's protagonist Carl 'CJ' Johnson from behind, walking down a narrow alleyway between low walls. Large bold white text at the top reads 'HANTAVIRUS SPREADS', and the iconic, widely used meme line 'Ah shit, here we go again' appears in smaller white text at the bottom. The meme expresses widespread public exasperation and dark humor about the prospect of another new viral public health crisis occurring shortly after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, aligning with the original post's title referencing 'COVID season 2'.

An animated meme featuring two characters in a room. The left character, wearing an orange shirt, gestures with their hands and has text overlay reading 'Me still processing the pandemic.' The right character, wearing a gray shirt, holds a knife and is labeled '2025 ending.' A 'KAPWING' watermark is present at the bottom right. The meme humorously depicts the feeling of still emotionally processing the pandemic while time (represented by the approaching end of 2025) moves forward, with the knife symbolizing the urgency or inevitability of time passing.
