“Good morning, inmates” (2019–20 coronavirus pandemic quarantine)

The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic locked people in their homes, as if they were in jail.

“Good morning inmates” was posted on Twitter by The real me on February 26, 2020. “Good morning inmates!!! #HighRiskCovid19 #IndieDevWorldOrder #indiegames #madewithunity #Dust3D” was posted on Twitter by DeSink on March 15, 2020. “Good Morning inmates! Hope you’re enjoying your solitary confinement” was posted on Twitter by Michael Patrick on March 22, 2020.

“Good morning inmates” has been printed on several images.

“Good morning, self-isolation inmates! Anyone know how much vodka goes in scrambled eggs?” is an extension of the saying.

Wikipedia: 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak
The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic is an ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Good Morning inmates! Hope you’re enjoying your solitary confinement. It’s time for our morning #MATH exercises. Question: why does the curve on these #CoronavirusPandemic charts look exactly the same everyday?
