Maddie said: "The 5 Types of coronavirus Moms

"The Kates: well educated, professional mothers who have been prepared for the pandemic since they first heard about it on NPR during their morning commute.

"She has contingency plans for childcare and a plumber installing bidets on all of their toilets.

"The Chelseas: stay-at-home mom with multiple children. She is calm and rational and has her home well stocked with enough food and supplies to last them several weeks.

"She is on her way to Trader Joe’s (with a face mask and freshly washed hands, of course) for more frozen vegetables.

"The Margarets: just realized yesterday that this might mean she has to stay at home with her children for weeks on end without any adult conversation other than her spouse. She is now afraid for her mental stability.

"Disney plus, wine, and grocery delivery services will be her only hope.

"The Lilys: part time working mother and homeschooler, promoting her self empowerment and business on insta stories. Her home is filled with the heavenly scent of essential oils and her fruits and vegetables are soaking in the sink.

"Currently googling how to make organic hand sanitizer for her non-vaccinated, vegetarian children.

"The Stacys: has firmly placed herself in the “f**k it” zone. She does not give a shit about the threat of covid-19 and will continue on with life as if everything were normal.

"She will be the mom willing to host play dates during quarantine and will definitely have wine to share when you run out."

After her post was shared thousands of times Maddie said she was shocked at the reaction to her last minute post.

She added: "I was not expecting this post to go viral. It was written very quickly while I was waiting to pick my kids up from school early last week and was just poking fun at the wide range of response to the early panic that was happening on social media at the time.

"Yes, I missed lots of amazing types of mothers. A giant thank you to our hard working moms in healthcare!!!"
