Coronavirus has affected the whole world. People are anxious, and the streets are empty. Well, almost empty. When it comes to the streets, you can only expect one group to roam and stay loyal to them, and they are the street artists. The explanation’s quite simple: even in more peaceful times, these rogues are no strangers to risks, such as the law, and now it’s no different. Also, they wore facemasks before it was “cool.” In times where all the galleries and museums are closed, the streets have become the canvas for public imagination. Let’s take a look at how street artists around the world have interpreted the situation.

Oh boohoo! Trump owns this in the US. Deal with it.

this should be xi jinping without a shadow of doubt ! what wrong with you people ?! brain washed by fake news new world order
tRump pandemic... Yes I know he didn't cause it but his complete failure as a leader and decent person is making it much worse, very much worse, than it had to be. Lies and misinformation in times like this cause more pain, death, and heartache so yeah it's the tRump Pandemic.
Trump doesn’t care about his country as long as he is in power he’s happy with what’s going on
This is the favourite one,, the orange idiot is definitely a virus, I hope someone can come up with a way of stopping his unbelievable destruction of not only the Americas (South and North) but he's even trying to spread his ways of how things should be into other countries. He's just a big headed business creep who knows nothing about compassion or humanity, a huge orange mess full of hot air and b******t..
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha lol
Hating Trump does not mean one MUST love China, it just means one loves our fellow human beings more than we love money. Something apparently incomprehendable for a lot of Americans, despite being oh so religious, except when it comes to "loving thy neighbor"
Load More Replies...This is so wrong. This wasn't Trump's fault. This was China. China did this.
It wasn't china's fault. It was just some random person who ate a bat. He/she just happened to be from China. If some American ate some weird food and a Chinese person said 'This was America. America did this' it would be a very different conversation
Load More Replies...I think Europeans hate trump because he's a horrible racist rude and stupid man who has a big group of 'trump followers' how are somehow able to conveniently forget all the sh*tty stuff he does

From the artist's Instagram:
"We all are going through this together. There is a reason which we will see after all. It’s time to look at ourselves. Take a look at what are we doing with the planet and our lifetime. Maybe we should change our priorities? Maybe we should slow down? Maybe we should take a look around and start respect our planet and all those with whom we share it? Maybe someone is trying to hide some changes? Or economic collapse? Maybe one more step to a new world order?"

Berlin, Germany. Artist: Alaniz And W3sr
Artist describes the work titled “Media scares me more than corona“ as a funny collaboration with his brother @w3sr on how media-induced paranoia is scarier than the real virus.
After I have seen what happens in the hospitals, I say we must not look away. What we see are the bare facts. The media is surprisingly mature about this. I doubt this doctor on the grafitti sees anything shocking unless it's a message about the hospital not getting any more supplies.

Boris Johnson, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, March 3 - "I was at a hospital the other night where I think a few there were actually coronavirus patients and I shook hands with everybody, you'll be pleased to know, and I continue to shake hands." March 27 - Boris Johnson tests positive for coronavirus and self isolates. April 6 - he is taken into intensive care and spends two nights there. April 9 - still in the hospital. Did anyone say anything about hubris?

Firstly, stay ‘Clean’ and hygienic at all the time, ‘Learn’ more about the virus before spreading the false pieces of information on the internet. ‘Obey’ the rules and regulations by the government. Next, be ‘Aware’ of the symptoms and avoid crowded places. Lastly, please be ‘Kind’ to everyone!"
