From coronavirus make-up tutorial to virus tattoos, people get weird and creative with their time in isolation
Coronavirus has disrupted the whole world, infected more than 200,000 people and killed more than eight thousand. To control the global health crisis, countries are working round the clock. The World Health Organization is also working 24/7 to analyze data, provide advice, coordinate with partners, help nations prepare, increase supplies and manage expert networks.
Several people are practicing self-isolation to prevent the further spread of the deadly disease. Celebrities and famous personalities across the world are also practicing the same and urging their fans and followers to do the same through their social media accounts.
However, amid all this, some people have chosen ‘weird’ methods to entertain themselves. One such example is of a beauty influencer from Iraq, who has created a “coronavirus make up tutorial”. The woman, identified as Fatima Aldewan, has posted the “coronavirus look” on Instagram while showing her over 80,000 followers how to create it.
In the six-minute video, she is shown applying eye makeup to herself while wearing a blue surgical mask. The short clip also describes how to correctly put on a surgical protection mask after which Aldewan goes on to apply makeup around it.
Though the woman said her followers had asked her to create the video, she faced a lot of criticism for the same. One said: "Whitewash! People are dying from this illness and you are taking it as mere fun."
Another user said, “Even the coronavirus now has a makeup look. What kind of stupidity are you guys living in?” while a person on Instagram tried to give her some moral lessons, saying: “People are dying from this illness, show some respect and have some boundaries.”
Meanwhile, in other news, people in the UK are getting COVID-19 themed designs permanently inked on their bodies. There are a variety of designs such as a bottle of popular lager Corona, or mocking the lack of loo roll in shops, from which people are selecting their favorite to get tattooed. While some people have had the coronavirus itself tattooed on their skin. The spherical virus is shown with its signature spikes.
Besides, there are some survivors of the deadly disease who are getting tattoos on their bodies to celebrate their victory. One of the survivors' tattoo said, “Coronavirus survivor,” while another design showed: “I Survived – 2020.”
