Fakers, Frauds, and Virtue Signalers
Welcome to the
Celebrity Corona Club!
Fakers, Frauds and Virtue Signalers
Celebrities realized very early on that claiming to have The Rona gets them attention, followers and ratings. We collected data to see how it played out for them.
Go question celebrities with coronavirus. If they can’t offer you some sort of proof like an official medical diagnosis/certificate then they are faking it.
Did they even had it at all?
See what we found out
For each Celebrity and Politician claiming to have The Rona that we are suspicious of, we have added statistics for their immediate bump in daily Social Media followers as a percentage.
You decide whether you believe them or not!
We have also added their own narratives on their personal profiles to our top menu:

Ladies and gents, the one and only!
This is a great use case on how playing the victim turns out well on your side, you know?
After uploading a video confessing to his audience that he “had no symptoms for now” he managed to shake the media with such terrible news and bag millions of new followers.

We must admit that we owe The Hanks the existence of this very site.
Whether it was his wife Rita’s idea or his, they were first to discover the celebrity hack. They showed the world how to stay under the so precious spotlight during the COVID-19 quarantine by playing the victim.
Adding a few millions of new followers in the process.

Days before confirming his positive, Daniel seemed to have caught the virus while starring as a viral disease doctor on a show filmed in NY. Oh the irony.

Blaise Matuidi
Footballer
Chance of Survival: 70%*
Most media celebrities are forever spotlight-hungry to stay relevant in the media, but athletes? They also seek status and sometimes they want to out-shine some of their peers.

Rudy Gobert
French basketball player
Chance of Survival: 73%*
As many non-believers, Rudy was taunting the coronavirus days before testing positive.
The problem is, he is a public figure and everyone saw him ridicule himself after playing with the whole situation. Karma plays in mysterious ways?
