NBC News Reports Usain Bolt Positive with COVID-19, Used Kevin Hart's Photo

Damnit! Who is responsible for this? Black people don't all look alike. Reports of Usain Bolt came out that the runner tested positive for coronavirus. He had a big birthday party, thrown by his girlfriend. But the issue is there were no masks or social distancing. While Usain has placed himself on self-isolation, NBC News got things all wrong when reporting about the story. They used a photo of Kevin Hart instead of Usain Bolt. Now, I'm pretty sure there may be some similarities, like both men are black, true enough. However, Usain and Kevin don't look alike. Who is responsible for that? Meanwhile, Kevin joked about it and said he is no longer doing comedy, but instead he will be training for the Olympics. Meanwhile, maybe someone was trying to get stories correct, because apparently, Kevin revealed he did reveal he had COVID-19 earlier this year, according to Page Six. He shared the news with attendees at Dave Chappelle’s An Intimate Socially Distanced Affair in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Kevin said he didn't tell people because, "The problem is that I had it around the same time as Tom Hanks, and I couldn’t say anything because he’s more famous than I am." So just maybe NBC News tried to combine the stories. Insert my shoulder shrug on this one.
