Australian cricketer Usman Khwaja took to social media to urge people to exercise caution amid corona virus outbreak throughout the world.
In his tweet, he has written that the virus should be taken seriously despite the low mortality rate. He has written, “It’s our responsibility as a society to think about the elderly and the social and economical cost this will have on so many lives. We all need to do our part.”
Just because the mortality rates for Covid-19 for many isn't high, doesn't mean you should have a blasé attitude. It's our responsibility as a society to think about the elderly and the social and economical cost this will have on so many lives. We all need to do our part.
