Yesterday, Parineeti Chopra raised the alarm by posting a widely shared Facebook post of Cristina Higgins, an American living in Bergamo, Italy, the European epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak, who described the hell they were going through.
A concerned Chopra wrote, "Guys stop being overconfident and read this. Stop calling it a hype on social media. Stop saying it only affects the elderly. Stop saying that the death rate of flu is more. Stop thinking you are smarter than the virus. You are not. Coronavirus is contagious and unstoppable. Be smart and safe (sic)." Higgins' post is scary but real.
