The entire country of Italy is on lockdown due to the spread of coronavirus but Joe Giudice claims Viagra is more dangerous than COVID-19.
“More people die from Viagra (heart attacks and drug overdose) everyday than this Coronavirus ,” the estranged husband of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice began on Instagram.
“People here are frantic because government is ridiculous with down!!!! Sorry Lockdown not for me Never again!!!!!,” he said, referring to his 41-month prison stint.
He went on, “Stay safe eat healthy, exercise, and no shaking and! #coronavirus #staysafeoutthere #lockdownnotcool #awarenessiskey #washhands.”
In the accompanying video, the father of four turned the camera to his Italian neighbourhood, saying the streets currently resemble a “ghost town.”
“Literally nobody out because of this stupid coronavirus,” he said. “It’s, like, ridiculous. People are so scared, unbelievable. Grow a set of cojones. Jesus, this is ridiculous.”
While there isn’t much data on the current Viagra death toll, Psychology Today reports that in the decade between 1998 — the year Viagra was approved — and 2007, the erectile dysfunction medication killed 1,824 people, while the death rate for coronavirus has already surpassed 4,000 globally in a matter of months, according to CNN.
Giudice, 47, was sent back to his native Italy in October to await a final decision in his deportation case.
