We had to check their feed to make sure this wasn’t a parody account, but it’s real: The group convinced that the human race has only a few years left before extinction because of climate change has canceled a die-in because of concerns about the coronavirus.
XRDC has cancelled its mass die-in at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History this Sunday because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Responding to the science and the public health emergency declared in DC, we feel it would be irresponsible to go ahead with the action.

Extinction Rebellion can always be counted on to respond to the science.
Well that's unfortunate…

You’re cancelling your “pretend to die” protest out of fear of getting sick?

Seems counter intuitive

Apparently, dying is not worth the risk of getting sick.

Missed your chance to put your money where your mouth is.

Sounds like you are not really committed to the cause

You're cancelling a fake die-in because you're afraid it'll turn into a real one?
Cowards.

Also, all doctor assisted suicides are cancelled until we can get this deadly #WuhanVirus under control.
