Back in the beginning of this horrible year, 'Go Corona Go' ironically became the unofficial slogal for the pandemic. We all had just one man to thank for the hilarious saying and the viral video - Union Minister Ramdas Athawale.

Fast forward to October, the hilarious saying turns dark as its originator actually contracts the virus and the news of him testing positive makes everyone revive the phrase.

His party, Republican Party of India , revealed that he has tested positive for Covid-19 and has been admitted to Bombay hospital.

While people are sympathetic since obviously a man is sick and everyone should hope for a speedy recovery, people can't help but call out the fact that he followed no social distancing or wore face masks just at an event yesterday.

Wear a face mask in the proper manner
Wash your hands
Practice physical distancing

Sad stuff.

Even the brand ambassador of "Go Corona Go" slogan is not #COVID19 free

Sure.

Go corona Go #RamdasAthawale lol, hope he would recover soon

He should.

He must recite his own mantra now:

Go Corona Go.......Go Corona......🤪 https://t.co/x2njMkpSC8

Exactly.

In short, shouting "Go Corona Go" while not maintaining social distancing doesn't work.#COVID19 #COVID__19 https://t.co/KtnwAAfpBN
