Justification
'Blond and rich' Louise justified act in a video message
While the six-second clip has now been taken down from TikTok, where it was originally uploaded, it is still available on Twitter.
In a YouTube.com/watch?v=UCaHG4FqLek&feature=youtu.be">video "speech" she later posted on YouTube, Louise justified her act, saying that she is "blonde, rich and skinny."
She also said that coronavirus is for poor people and she's glad that "it is taking out all the old people."
Reactions
Twitter goes all out to criticize Louise, and rightly so!
The vile "coronavirus challenge" video is drawing criticism from all the corners, with users calling Louise out. Those who slammed her include author/columnist Meghan McCain, who demanded the former to be put in jail.
The coronavirus pandemic, which originated in China last year, has reportedly killed 93 and infected 4,744 in the US, where it has now been declared a national emergency.
