Mixed reactions on twitter as music star: Seyi Shay shares her thoughts on #Coronavirus (Photos)

The Coronavirus pandemic continues to dominate discussions everyday on social media and people have variants of opinions on the virus that has claimed thousands of lives in the world.

Popular music star : Seyi Shay believes that the Federal Government of Nigeria is only taking the Coronavirus serious only because the pandemic is global and world leaders are on their toes battling battling it. Otherwise, Malaria has been killing people and is more dangerous than the Coronavirus but the Government hasn’t done enough to curb it.

Seyi Shay’s tweet reads thus: https://twitter.com/iamseyishay/status/1240380022428512259?s=19

While some people agreed with her and buttressed her points, other have other ideas:

There are drugs and existing treatments, and a few effective preventive measures for both malaria and typhoid. That’s what makes Corona Virus worse right now.
And it spreads very easily and (when it does) it kills quickly as well.

For the fools dragging seyi shay, Malria killed 408,500 people in 2018 and it was recorded as a success cos it was a reduced number. So allow your ignorant minds to be schooled. Corona is epidemic cos its killing dem whites. Malaria have been killing Africans since Adam so chill.

Why is it that when a celeb says something incorrect, we start to bash them? Why are we shocked Seyi Shay is not an expert on the corona virus? She's a singer not a medical expert. It's OK to educate her on what she's ignorant of instead of telling her to "stick to music."

You’re a celebrity doesn’t mean you’re bright sha. You’re comparing malaria & typhoid to Covid-19.

Are they the same types of microorganisms?

Comparing a virus to a parasite like plasmodium or a bacteria that causes typhoid.
