COVID in Malawi? Madonna doesn’t care.

The queen of self-indulgence took the four children she adopted from Malawi for a visit to their country of origin over New Year’s. She also took her young boyfriend, 26-year-old Ahlamalik Williams, 36 years her junior. It’s unclear if nannies went along, but Madonna’s older children, Lourdes and Rocco, didn’t accompany the group.

The elder children were smart. Malawi does allow visitors to fly in, but they closed their borders in December because of their escalating rate of COVID. The small African nation has had about 7,000 cases of the virus and 195 deaths.

When Madonna visited her Mercy James Hospital, she can be seen in videos wearing some protective gear– not a mask, but a plastic face shield and a protective uniform.

But in other videos, Madonna and the children– David Banda, Mercy James, and twins Estere and Stella– are not wearing masks in close gatherings of dozens if not hundreds of onlookers– who are also not wearing masks. Madonna, you see, considers herself immune to all disease, a superpower that extends to her children. She simply ignored this warning from the US government: Reconsider travel to Malawi due to COVID-19.

A week before Madonna arrived on December 23rd, Voice of America reiterated that Malawi had closed its borders because of COVID.
