Would it be disrespectful of me to make artwork of sad viruses with cute faces saying they're sorry for killing so many people and they didn't mean to kill people?

So here's the thing. I'm a professional artist with quite a few followers (2,000) and my artwork is always cute stuff. I'm thinking of making a painting of a pathogen, the 2019 Coronavirus to be exact, but in my style so it has these cute little faces on it. (Similar to this : https://imgur.com/a/XkCFuOk ). The sketch I currently have has a bunch of them with little crowns and cute but sad faces saying they're sorry for all the people they've killed and they didn't 'mean' to do it.

Would I be wrong for making this and posting it? I'm a little conflicted about it, but at the same time I'm curious about if it'd make me look insensitive or not.

A friend told me not to do it, another friend told me that it'd be cute.
