The outrage does not end there as the video then pans to a bottle of handwash and the the caption, "This virus gunna have to be quicker than that to catch me.” Once the video went viral, Dele Ali was thoroughly criticized for allegedly “fanning the flames” of the stigma that came with the deadly virus.
