Coronavirus Pandemic: Harsha Bhogle Lambasts 'Literate People' For Partying

It is a time to take extra precaution to withstand the novel coronavirus pandemic. But some ‘literate people’ still have not learnt their lessons as they have been found partying at a time when self-isolating and social distancing is the need of the hour.

The coronavirus pandemic has already claimed life of 11554 people all around the globe. Simultaneously, over 278472 cases have been recorded positive.

Harsha Bhogle calls out literate people for partying

Social gathering can raise the number of people effected by coronavirus. But many still have not paid any heed to that.

Prominent commentator Harsha Bhogle said, even though a million people can take precautionary measure to eradicate coronavirus, a few silly ones can ruin it.

“It is so disappointing when so many people are trying so hard and stupid, literate people coming from infected areas go around partying. A million people can do right but it requires a few silly people to lose the fight. Let us stay vigilant. We are in this together,” Harsha Bhogle tweeted.

Details about coronavirus 

According to WHO, Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV).

COVID-19 is a new strain that was discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans.

Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people.  Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.

Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
