With most schools closed and people staying home everyday, it was only a matter of time before another 'challenge' went viral on social media...
This time around, the 'Coronavirus Challenge' encourages people to lick objects in an apparent display of public disobedience. More specifically, they're licking toilet seats.
(And you thought people were disgusting for licking ice cream cartons in grocery stores!!!)
The challenge is mainly found on TikTok, a popular video-sharing platform.
One social media influencer here in California even claims that he was hospitalized with COVID-19 after he did the challenge. The TikTok personality, known as Larz, had allegedly posted a video of him licking a toilet bowl just days before being hospitalized...
“I tested positive for Coronavirus,” the 21-year-old from Beverly Hills later tweeted.
Doctors have not yet confirmed if Larz contracted the virus specifically from his social media stunt or not. Either way, keep your tongues away from toilet seats kids. It's just not worth it...
