Belle's introduction in Beauty and the Beast now has a pandemic twist in a parody version that emphasizes just how fast the coronavirus can spread if people don't take precautions.

Much like the original, Belle starts off her day by greeting her fellow villagers also living dull, provincial lives. But in this version, Belle isn't the protagonist. Instead, she's the one who won't wash her hands, isn't self-quarantining, and won't keep the CDC-recommended six feet of space between herself and other villagers.

"I've yet to see a reckless fool quite like her," the villagers croon. "Without a mask or gloves she goes?...She's gonna get us all infected, that is Belle."

Belle, continuing her incredibly selfish journey to buy toilet paper in bulk and return books, exposes dozens of villagers to the coronavirus. When she makes it to Albert's book shop, Albert rushes her out and says, "Don't touch me!"

"This is just another flu, you'll see," Belle sings to a herd of sheep. "True, now the death rate's higher. But we can't control when we will die, so let it be."

Which is objectively not true — COVID-19 is definitely not "just another flu" and we can limit how many people will die from it by simply staying home and washing our hands. Don't be Belle!
