He added, "Sorry for the harsh expression, but this is how it is, and I know no one will respond." He concluded with the hashtag "#CoronaLebanon."
His followers supported his opinion, with one commenting: "Despite the harshness of the comparison, Youssef, you are indeed right." Another added, "Conscience is the voice of God within us; we must submit to this voice to be liberated."

He shared the video with a special message to his wife, stating: "My love for you protects me and protects you, and your love for me protects the whole family.. 9 years of marriage.. the number 9 is the number of perfection.. not attainment.. may God complete it and lead us to 99."
