Google will cancel its jokes for April 1st due to corona virus

No joke - Google will not joke with the rest of the world on April 1st this Wednesday.

For the last few years, Google has been the frontrunner for online jokes. on the first of April. We found their jokes interesting because they were often related to gaming. Last year, for example, they introduced playing the legendary Snake on Google Maps, and in 2014, the Pokemon Challenge was presented, from which it ultimately derived Pokemon Go.

Unfortunately for jokers and jokers, Google has announced that it will not crack any jokes this year for 1. 4. This Wednesday, it will break tradition to indicate the severity of the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. As they say, their goal is to be useful to people at the moment, so they will keep all the jokes for next year.

It remains to be seen how many other companies will lead by the example of Google. On the one hand, we all need some humor in this time. But on the other hand, we are witnessing a large spread of misinformation, so a day aimed at spreading false reports does not sound like a smart idea at the moment.

Admittedly, announcing that new games are coming to their Stage from Google would be a good joke.
