MEXICO CITY - Mexico’s Grupo Modelo said on Thursday it will temporarily stop brewing Corona beer and other brands exported to 180 countries after its business activities were declared non-essential under a government order aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus. The Mexican government this week declared a health emergency and ordered the suspension of non-essential activities.“If the federal government considers it appropriate to issue some clarification confirming beer as an agro-industrial product, at Grupo Modelo we are ready to execute a plan with more than 75% of our staff working from home and at the same time guaranteeing the supply of beer,” the statement said.

We are sorry to have to repeatedly post this, but Cannabis is not a cure for Corona Virus. It is ALSO not related to corona Corona Beer. Wash your hands, please, keep six feet from strangers, and remain indoors as much as possible. coronavirus WashYourHands Corona

The end of the world really is nigh

shiz has just gotten real mofo's!!! Hooters NHLBruins patriots

Does that mean the tide has turned in our fight against the virus? Is this the battle that brings us victory?

I just change to BUD Light...

Bad news

Noooooo!!!!!!!!!

With a brand name like that, well...

PhGoffin Koen_Geens1' Staatsveiligheid zet zelf essentiële inlichtingen (limjh12) buiten spel. Wetmatig kan het dan niet anders dan dat gevaarlijke agenten te Samsung, waar limjh12 belangrijke informatie over heeft, covid19 verspreidden en ook daarna nog zullen toeslaan

That’s cold! (No pun intended)

What!! Beer is essential if you are quarantined. Running out could be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

Crappy irony

Oh hell no.

Drinking this has been my wife's way of sticking her fingers up at the virus. Sad news. 🥴

😱😱😱 but... 😱 It's Friday! Corona (beer) beats Corona (virus) on Fridays!

Because of me Do not be afraid 🉐☣️🤑

But you can only fight corona with Corona!

Oh for FUCK sake!!! 🧐🧐🧐🧐🙄🙄🙄🙄🔥🔥🔥🔥😡😡😡😡😡

They have to rebrand once this pandemic is over...

I really really really want some corona and lime now wtf

🤣🤣🤣

An unfortunate tainting of a brand name that's long represented water flavored with beer.

WHAT?! HOW EVEN?

martopirlo1 I buy only 2 kinds of beer in France 🇫🇷, Corona and Pelfort. Sincerely, just because of the name ! I propose to Corona makers to change the name of Corona by Chloroquine and they will make big bucks ! And I will continue to drink this Mexican beer

why stop ? it’s the only corona which makes people happy 😃

Because their sales drop too much

' other drugs are available '

I know quite a few people who would beg to differ 🤔

here comes the run on Corona lol

I am looking forward to their new brands - Bubonic Beer (It's Infectious!) and Herpes Tequila (It Just Keeps On Coming Back!).

Because it’s non-essential, huh... Has nothing to do with the name, of course

Pretty essential in our household. coronatime

See you again Corona beer!!😘

Mere Stupidity!!!

Declining sales among Red State Americans was also cited by anonymous sources.

They should use the same font and just call it Cerveza.

Hahaha

For gods sake , its my bloody favourite. Wtf.

I got strategic stock

TheOnion Here, I think you dropped this

stefilinis

Do they consider changing the brand name for this moment?

MSM stops brainwashing the public, deemed non-essential!

Why is it non essential. It's the only Corona that curable with lime.

CALL IT COVID INSTEAD OF CORONA! Your trashing the companies reputation

Ohh..

The water fields says thanks. 👏

I would deem it non-essential in normal circumstances. There are better beers out there.

And canceled constellation brands factory :)

How is this news? Are you essential?

Oh no!

I guess it’s NOT corona time after all

With a name like Corona you figured they would have seen this one coming.

Haha. What a headline to wake up to.

I tot emerikans n da uk are the only idiots when it comes to this “corona virus” thing...

لا ثيرفيثا ماس فينا

😳

Because of it's name, come one like really
