(Yahoo Sports) Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson sees parallels between how coronavirus and HIV/AIDS have been handled. Johnson specifically called out how much “bad information” exists regarding coronavirus, according to ESPN.
Johnson, 60, urged others to try to be educated on the issue.
“The same issues we had then, we have now, where bad information, myth about ‘it couldn’t happen to us in the black community,’ not being educated enough about HIV and AIDS,” Johnson told ESPN via phone Wednesday morning. “The same thing [is happening] with the coronavirus.”
