Italian influencer Chiara Ferragni called out Kendall Jenner on Instagram for her posts downplaying the coronavirus threat, imploring her to not underestimate the problem and spread the wrong message to her millions of fans.

Ferragni, a model, blogger, and designer, lambasted the reality TV star after Jenner posted a series of infographics about coronavirus taken from a website called Information Is Beautiful . The graphics suggest the majority of cases are mild and the bulk of people recover.

Jenners posts fail to mention that the disease, since declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has sickened more than 137,000 people worldwide, killing more than 5,000.

We have some bad news to report from Italy, which has the worlds second-highest number of coronavirus cases after China, Ferragni said in the first of the series of posts on her Instagram story on Thursday. Since yesterday, we have 2,600 more cases and the situation is really getting out of control because there are so many complications connected to this disease, especially breathing problems.
