Netflix's Tiger King documentary star Joe Exotic was tested positive for coronavirus which has now left several internet users confused. According to international media reports, Joe was first in quarantine in the Texan prison, where he is serving a 22-year sentence. However, recently another media outlet reported that he had been transferred to a hospital. The same report was then again updated and it said that he’s been ‘transferred’ to quarantine after multiple inmates were diagnosed with the virus.
The reports by the media outlet left several Twitter users confused. While some users joked how he would know exactly where to blame, taking a dig at Carole Baskin, others imagined how the situation would have been years ago. One user even shared a GIF which just read ‘confused’.
