And then all of a sudden boom, that s**t was over within in a day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dPeople were following Coronavirus [as] the most craziest thing in the world,\u201d he continued. \u201cNow you don\u2019t see any of those people protesting, do you? At all. I think in Italy they\u2019re doing the same thing. You don\u2019t see those protests any more, do ya? Pretty crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It appears that Tito Ortiz believes the Coronavirus was created to shut down protests.
