While what happened with her husband and the police was no laughing matter, the memes that have followed are pure gold.

Updated 27 Mar, 2020

There is now a Maria B meme for everything.

When the designer released an explainer video (which she has since deleted) alongside her husband who was briefly jailed by Lahore Police for letting their coronavirus positive cook flee the city, Twitter went straight to work to commemorate this iconic frame from the clip:

We could all use a laugh in these tough times and the internet came through.

When you're self-isolating and had to send the cook away...

Relatable

Personal attack

Desi parents be like

Mom, please!

Again?!

It was a careless and unrealistic lapse that could happen anywhere and must not be blown further. We are in a serious crisis world over and should learn from such lapses to be much more vigilant and careful.

I don't really find this amusing. I think its disturbing that people who should know better are the ones increasing the risk og contagion. A Corona positive person on the loose. Thanks Maria B. Let's not worry about people dying. As long as your cook is safe. Can people boycott her designer clothes?

Miss big B did absolutely made an unjustifiable and illiterate mistake. She discarded Serious and dangerous pandemic public health issue and try to secure her own family health and discarded general public health at large. People should not buy her designers cloths anymore for being carelessly selfish by discarded others’ wellbeing.

MariaB and her husband should apologize and they must support their servant to get proper corona treatment. In addition, they should start a special campaign to support corona patients. This will enable them to improve their image, if they love the people and their country.

@ M.Saeed. When you are living in luxury and don't have a chance to spare for your own employees who are sick and jeopardizes public health, you must be held accountable. This is no "lapse in judgement" This is a crime that these heartless people did. Maybe every crime in your book is a "lapse in judgement".

Maria B and her husband are also humans! Given the current scare which is due to the virus anyone can act a little abnormally especially when it comes to protecting your family members. This should not go further than this as this is a serious issue.

The couple have no excuse, they acted selfishly as many rich people in Pakistan do. You see the servants treated so badly They should shut up and do something good like donation to a charity and also help their cook.

Viral episode is not at all incidental. Violation of human rights and modesty in every society has reached its zenith requiring urgent redressal. Time for introspection & atonement without further delay. Heart rending to see Maria B elite class treating their subjects a bit lower than their pets. If Army & PM have helped them out (as alleged by the couple) I feel at loss to find suitable epithet to express myself.
