The video went “viral,” drawing 5 million views.
But a subsequent clips showed Mendes in a hospital.
“I tested positive,” was the attached message.
The statement doesn’t provide documentation.
Summit News explained the YouTuber previously was in a video of him taking a tub of ice cream from a store freezer, eating some and then putting it back.
That stunt drew a “police visit, Summit News said.
But Summit News said “the overwhelming likelihood is that Mendes licking the toilet seat and then claiming he has COVID-19 is all a fake publicity stunt merely to gain attention.”
