Elon Musk and John McAfee have spoken against the widespread hysteria about the Corona Pandemic


Computer genius John McAfee is known for
his fearless and controversial views for which he has garnered trouble for
himself several times. Recently he has been tweeting a lot against the hyped
corona pandemic. Some of his controversial statements regarding the worldwide
outbreak have been deleted by Twitter.
Recently Elon Musk told his employees that
the risk of dying by the coronavirus is overestimated. He said that the chances
of dying in a car crash on the way home are 100 times higher than dying from
coronavirus.
In another tweet, John praised Elon Musk
for his rational views

Recently John McAfee shared few videos on
Twitter about how the major economies in the world are purposely spreading the
COVID 19 havoc the world. He smells it as a big collective conspiracy
orchestrated by the superpowers such as US, China Russia, and Europe.
Coronavirus has been spread in more than
150 countries so far. But its outbreak is negligible in tropical climate
countries. John thinks that it is an over-hype disease and the global
superpowers are misusing to control the movement of people to increase
worldwide censorship.
John said," Governments
unilaterally are restricting freedom of movement, restricting assembly,
imposing draconian rules on where you can go and not go. And why? You can go to
the doctor if you are sick but not if you’re not sick. Restaurants are closed
almost everywhere so they can't go to a ballgame. This seems like a
totalitarian takeover.”
In another video, john claims this could be
a collaborated conspiracy of the US and China and Russia and Europe so that
they can impose a draconian regime. While China might want to collapse the
western economies by spreading the Virus panic.
One of his tweets in which he claimed that
black people won’t be affected by the coronavirus and only whites can get
affected has been restricted by twitter justifying it as part of their policy.
While McAfee responded this action in another tweet where he posted a pic with
his wife saying that he is not against any race and his wife is also a black.
Technically, what Elon Musk says is quite
true since the number of fatalities in road accidents is much higher than the
deaths caused by a coronavirus.
Similarly considering the example of China,
out of 1.4 billion population, only around 80,000 got infected. Which is less
than 1 per thousand people. And the fatalities are even less than 4000 with the
measures taken by the government.
