WW: Gado, an editorial cartoonist, uses satire to present the range of responses to the Corona Virus pandemic from a range of prominent people and leaders, some real (e.g. the US president), and others a composite (e.g. religious leaders). The responses presented by the cartoonist include unproven cures or downplaying of the virus' strength. Editorial cartoons are typically associated with the news media, and are a medium of commenting on a topical issue as well as sharing information by use of humour/satire. This cartoon exposes some of the ideas that have been shared on prominent platforms, ome of it outrightly incorrect.
