However, the pupone and his wife are not the only characters known to be victims of the coronavirus. In fact, since last March, more and more politicians, VIPs and sportsmen have declared that they have had positive results. Recently the director de The print, Massimo Giannini, contracted the virus and ended up in intensive care. The journalist, who later tested negative, still managed to tell his experience: from the symptoms, to the increasingly young patients in intensive care up to the hard work of doctors and nurses who every day risk their lives to save that of others. Among the VIPs infected by Covid-19, there are also many well-known faces of the show.

VIPs infected by Covid-19, but deniers

As already mentioned above, many VIPs are infected by Covid-19, some of whom have a past as a "denier". Take the British Prime Minister, for example, Boris Johnson, who risked his life because of the virus. Also Jair Bolsonaro e Donald Trump, presidents respectively of Brazil and to the United States, have been victims of the virus after having reduced its danger. In the sports world, the most famous example is that of the tennis player Novak Djokovic, who as a denier had to deal with the disease. As for the music industry, the singer Madonna, positive too, more than a denier she was a "conspiratorial". The artist has in fact stated that the Covid-19 vaccine has already been available for months, but hidden. Another "denier", this time our own, was Andrea Bocelli. After his questionable claims about the virus, he got infected and is now a plasma donor.

The well-known faces of the world of politics, entertainment and sport mentioned above are just the best known examples of VIPs affected by coronavirus. The number of infections is growing by the hour (and not only among famous people). Governments of many countries are taking new measures, even rigid, hoping to be able to reduce the advance of the virus. The appeals of famous deniers, victims of their superficiality, have only confirmed that the virus exists and is not something to be taken lightly. Only by respecting the rules and maintaining social distancing could we get out of it, maybe not better, but we will get out of it (hoping that an effective vaccine will soon be available for the entire population).
