The coronavirus pandemic has infected close to 1,68,000 people globally and claimed over 6,610 lives, claims WHO. Entire countries (like Italy) are on a lockdown, and people around the world are being told to take basic precautions like maintaining personal hygiene and avoiding public areas.
Then there are people like this TikTok influencer who are making light of the situation and looking for their one shot to fame.?
Ava Lousie, a TikTok influencer, posted the following video of hers licking an airplane toilet seat all for the sake of starting a new ¡®coronavirus challenge.'
Her video faced worldwide criticism and even the daughter of US senator John McCain, Meghan McCain retweeted the video with the caption, ¡®Put her ass in jail!¡¯
Ava had posted the six-second clip with the caption, ¡®Please retweet this so people can know how to properly be sanitary on the airplane¡¯.?
Ava has reportedly appeared on famous US TV psychologistDr Phil's show twice.?After various news websites started talking about her and criticised her video she came up with a YouTube video to justify her actions!?
The video is captioned, ¡®Why I licked the toilet seat, now I¡¯m running for president¡¯. In the six-minute video, Ava, with all the entitlement in the world, addresses the ¡®issue¡¯ and says that the whole ¡®coronavirus challenge¡¯ peg was fake and she only did it to gain global media attention which she was successful in achieving.
Not only that, she said that she will be entering the 2020 election and in the video she says that her motto is "America can suck my di*k you are all stupid."
Addressing the press she said, "Thanks for the coverage, I am so insulted that y'll labelled me as 22 years old, I am only 21."
She clarified that she is from New Jersey and in Miami for spring break. Talking about the coronavirus challenge Ana said "Guess what, I don't regret it, I am not sorry, I will never apologise for what I have done, you are all so fuc*ing stupid.¡±
She goes on to say that the reason why coronavirus is taking all the ¡®boomers¡¯ is because they are ¡®stupid¡¯.?
Here is the thing, knowing that people, especially teenagers will do anything for a few seconds of fame, an act like this by an ¡®influencer¡¯ is really irresponsible.?People need to realise the seriousness of the situation and not joke about something that is killing people round the clock.?
