He tweeted stating, ¡°The coronavirus panic is dumb.¡± In these troubling times, sure a statement like this seems shocking to say the least. Especially when a disease has managed to infect over 100,000 people globally and claimed over 3000 lives.

Heck, in the last couple of weeks, even the US has seen a striking spike in the number of coronavirus cases. As of now, there have been 335 cases reported in the US with 17 people in total dead, including one in California -- the state Elon Musk lives in.

Twitter, as usual, reacted quite hilariously.

The rising number of cases have resulted in several offices asking their employees to work from home, to prevent the spreading of the novel Coronavirus. Various conferences and conventions across the globe have been either cancelled or postponed due to coronavirus fears.

It is true that panicking in any situation disorients a person from thinking and acting logically, however, we do understand that with so many deaths and spiking rate of infections, it is hard not to. Nevertheless, we strongly recommend being cautious about personal hygiene is the right way to go.

Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds to allow any viruses to be wiped off. Use rubbing alcohol more often, especially after touching commonly touched surfaces. Cover your face and mouth while sneezing. Make sure you don¡¯t touch them more often, as if your hands are infected, they act as pathways for the virus to enter your body.
