Shortly after her bizarre comments explaining the definition of COVID-19 went viral, Pakistani netizens took to Twitter to mock Minister Zartaj Gul Wazi, questioning her logic behind her statements. In a recent incident, Pakistan’s Minister for Climate Change, while educating the country regarding the COVID-19 virus on a national television broadcast, claimed that it was named so because it had '19 points which affected different countries differently.'
"First they say it's a pandemic, then they said its an endemic. You have to live with it till it's the vaccine is developed. It's a flu. COVID-19 means that it has 19 points which can apply to different countries in different ways," said Pakistan's Minister for Climate Change Zartaj Gul.
