A new coronavirus called COVID-19, which is spreading quickly around the world, is believed to have originated from Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province. Hubei is also where most of the COVID-19 cases have been, with more than 62,000 infected persons so far."Jho Low and Covid-19! Not sure which one is more dangerous for Wuhan!" said a Twitter user with the handle @JayMenonP.
Another Twitter user, whose handle is @leonhartxtreme said: "Jho Low spread the virus to hide in the place no one dare to enter. Maybe his next destination is Chernobyl." The user was referring to the location of the 1986 nuclear disaster, in what was at that time the Soviet Union and is now Ukraine. During that incident, considered by some as the worst nuclear accident in history, a reactor at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded and burned, making the areas inhabitable."Should we believe this garbage?" asked @ariffnordin81.
