There is some truth to this.

140,000 people in the US dead, a total of 200,000 more deaths than is expected by this time this year so 60,000 either unreported or due to other factors like being unable to get medical attention, AND, not accounting for the lower deaths that should be the result of a month or two of lockdown, AND, many many thousands permanently disabled...
Joke's far from funny.
Damn, I thought the Covid meme was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time, then it went all serious and political.

I was merely pointing out that in Florida ~2% of the population has tested positive and currently has an active infection. They get it.

Life is far from funny. But berk it, I'm gonna laugh about E36 M3. It beats the alternative.

Not trying to start anything but I was thinking just the other day, how can a disease be political?

Easily. Just let your party affiliation determine your reaction to it.
On either side.
I'm with Pete on this one. I'm not saying to remove it or anything. Just didn't see the humor...
Also, i don't see the political slant. Data is data.
Here's a shirt I just ordered...
Humor = tragedy + time and/or distance.
I don't know anyone on a personal level that has been hit with COVID, but I know people that know people that have, and everyone in my social circle and myself have had to wait for someone to call us back and tell us if we caught it due to being in close enough proximity to someone who did have it.
I didn't find it offensive, but its too soon and too close for me to find it anything but tactless at best. YMMV.
