LA Lewis is calling the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic a hoax.
“COVID isn’t real. Corona is real because it is a flu, but COVID is a hoax,” The outspoken Dancehall personality said.
LA Lewis recently led a peaceful protest in St Catherine against the mandatory wearing of masks in Jamaica.
“The mask cannot stop a virus should an airborne virus come around. Jamaica is one of the hottest countries, so if COVID cannot survive in heat, then it cannot survive here. We have searched all around the country and we are yet to know anyone with this virus,”LA Lewis told The STAR.
“Trump have corona which is a flu and not the COVID-19 that they are talking about. Every breathing thing can get corona because even goat sneeze, which shows that animals can contract a cold or flu,” he added.
