Corona Virus prank gone too far

Imagine what joy some people derive in playing with something as serious as death itself.
On Monday, a flight from Canada that was going to Jamaica, was forced to abort mission and turn back, because a passenger on board pranked everyone on board that he had visited China and was infected with corona virus and was feeling unwell two hours into the flight. 

The prankster James Potok Philipe thought it was funny to play this prank because he thought he could make a viral video out of this prank. He was immediately masked before he could infect anyone and the plane was taken back to canada where it was coming from and on emergency landing.

The prankster was checked for any sign of the virus, and after none was found on him by the medical team, he was charged to court for the mischief.

last week Saturday in Abuja, Nigeria, some young nigerians, about five Nigerians had gone to an Abuja hospital and pranked them that they had contacted the corona virus too. This sent every patient running helter skelter, before the pransters Peggi Shandi, Abayomi Adedoyin,David Enemigin, Priscilia Ajesola and Jacob Oji were arrested by the police and charged.


While these pranksters for selfish reasons might think its funny to play pranks with a disease that is epidemic and has infected more than 20,000 people in china and killed about 500 globally, some people think this kind of behaviour is really dumb, stupid and insensitive on other people.
