A medical officer who made an appearance on
CNN has gone viral for a hilarious reason.
Infectious disease expert Dr William Schaffner was interviewed by
CNN host Erin Burnett regarding the current coronavirus pandemic. Burnett then spoke to
CNN chief medical correspondent Dr Sanjay Gupta, and while that happened, Dr Schaffner felt a sneeze creeping up his body.
He tried to control it, but eventually let out the sneeze before he could cover his mouth. His failed attempt to control the sneeze left Schaffner wide-eyed, as he did not follow the
necessary steps of covering his mouth with a tissue or sneezing into the inside of the elbow.
Schaffner led out a little chuckle after the incident, and his action went viral on the internet. “The look of a man that has let his country down,” one Twitter user joked with a screenshot of the embarrassed doctor. “He literally almost messed around and blew his eyes out. Concerned,” another Twitter user wrote worriedly.
