Now is not the time to offend people. Just about everybody's nerves and fear and frustration levels are stretched to the point where if you have to ask the question, "too soon?" ... You already know the answer. 

But when there are social media apps, people will find a way to offend whether we like it or not.

Take fitness model Yulia Ushakova for example. She took to Instagram to post of a photo of the new bikini she made. The caption (courtesy of Google translate) says, "I ordered a new trend of the swimming season 2020 on Ali Express ------ Built-in valves make breathing easier, but komlekt needs to be changed every two hours! ---- I don’t know if this challenge is already on Instagram, but I like the idea -- How do you ?? And a fun weekend for everyone!"

The bikini she is wearing is made of masks that are in desperate need for hospital staff and first responders dealing with the novel coronavirus. 

Заказала на Али экспресс новый тренд купального сезона 2020 ------ Встроенные клапаны облегчают дыхание, но комлекты нужно менять каждые два часа! ---- Не знаю, есть ли этот челлендж уже на просторах Инстаграм, но идея мне нравится -- Как вам?? И нескучных выходных всем! ---- #позитивноемышление #тренд2020 #вируснепройдёт----

It's not like Ushakova doesn't have alot of followers. She posted this so all 500,000 plus could see it.

Of course she caught some heat for the post, according to dailystar.co.uk: 
One commenter remarked: "There is a global lack of masks. This is the worst joke I have seen during these horrible days.”
Another said: "Totally stupid and disrespectful to all doctors and all those who are suffering. Unfollow right away. Enough.”
And a third added: “In the moment when those masks can save a life, this is not the best kind of joke you can do.”
