The video experiment shows how soap is an effective way of preventing against the spread of the disease amid the global health crisis.

“I have this little DIY experiment that you can do at home, too,” she said.

“I have a mixture of a lot of different types of soap inside of this. And this is the coronavirus, or any virus– it’s actually just pepper,” she adorably clarified.

“If you wash your hands, your hands will stay clean. But if you keep your hands dirty, you might get sick.”

Tina Knowles-Lawson was just trying to lighten an already horrific situation with a corny joke, but some fans did not like it one bit.

Beyonce and Solange‘s 66-year-old mom clapped back at one troll who criticized her joke she wrote on social media.

“Hi! It’s Thursday morning, corny joke,” Tina shared in an Instagram video. “So did you hear about the corduroy pillows? Yeah, they’re making headlines — headlines in your head when you lay on it, you know.”

“Girl, take them bangs and disappear with your daughter and grandchildren for a little while,” the troll commented. “We don’t need this right now.”

Tina, who’s known for sharing a corny joke or two, wrote back to the troll.

“Try to conjure up a little respect,” she wrote in the now deleted clap back. “And secondly, if you don’t need it then get off my page and go where you like what you see. With love ❤️.”

A few days earlier, Tina shared another corny joke, saying that “I know it’s corny but even if you get a little chuckle it is worth it at this time we must keep our sense of humor and stick together love you all be safe🙏🏾❤️.”

She continued, “At the age of 12, I played this very role at the Ensemble Theatre in Houston, Texas and it was then I learned about Lena’s dedicated activism and fearless integrity as a woman and groundbreaking artist. I am honored to be receiving an award that bears her name and continue her legacy of using the arts to inspire reflection and evoke change.”
