It’s currently a tense time in the world as the threat of the coronavirus continues to make headlines. It was revealed yesterday that production for Marvel’s The Falcon and The Winter Soldier has been shut down over COVID-19 concerns and many major events have also been canceled, including Emerald City Comic-Con. Unsurprisingly, there have also been countless jokes and memes taking over the Internet with folks like Stephen King poking fun at the panic by using one of his classic characters. Another big name to take to social media this week was Octavia Spencer, who can currently be heard on the big screen in Onward. The actor has an incredibly brilliant idea for avoiding handshakes during this major health scare: switch to the “Wakanda forever” salute from Black Panther!

Kumbaya,” @debrobertsabc added. “Missed opportunity for Makanda,” @allenbergmedia joked. (In case you missed it, Spencer is currently holding a contest for the best Ma memes.)
