Conor McGregor vents on coronavirus after aunt’s death: ‘This stupid (expletive) virus’

Add Conor McGregor to the list of people feeling the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

In a lengthy statement issued in an Instagram post Friday, former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion McGregor (22-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC) expressed his frustration with COVID-19. In addition to a self-assessment of hygiene and hand-shaking, McGregor revealed his aunt, Anne Moore, died.

“I get a phone call telling me that my lovely little auntie Anne had passed away,” McGregor wrote. “I couldn’t go live anymore. My poor little friendly loving auntie. My mother’s sister. This stupid (expletive) virus. What the (expletive) is happening.”

McGregor did not reveal any more details, but expressed what he felt in the wake of the recent events.

“I took my family to bull island. Looked out at the sea. Took a deep breath. Thank (expletive)! Lord thank you 🙏 Stay tight people! We are all we got.”

Along with his words, McGregor posted 10 images. The photos included him with fiancee Dee Devlin, their two children, and various others, presumably family and friends.

In the lengthy post, McGregor said the photos were snapped “the other day” – the same day he was announcing a donation to first responder charity Stephen Siller Tunnel to Tower Foundation.

Ireland you amazing, amazing country. I believe we have this virus contained. And through this containment, we actually may have gone and contained them all. The good habits we will have now gained from this wild covid-19 attack will see us too strong in future. Hand hygiene. Touching of own face hygiene. Consistent thorough cleaning of handled areas hygiene. What we should really be all doing anyway. I have always been on with my hand hygiene. But not enough. If I think of all the people approaching to shake hands and what not. I often get people say to me please I don’t want a picture, just let me shake your hand. And I’m like yes friend thank you. As it’s more efficient than taking a full picture. But it’s too careless. And too frequent. Touching my own hand to my face as well. Too unaware of the frequency I’d do it. Until now. I’d train my ass off, to the point of low immunity. It’s inevitable with the intensity of the training. The immune system will be tested. I would float around in this manner, and always end up catching little colds and flus. I feel bullet proof right now though! I’m switched on like a motherfucker now. Stay vigilant on our personal hygiene people. And our personal space. God speed to us all ❤ We are not there yet but we are well on our way. On our way in a big way! To the people of the world. We will do this! We are doing this! It’s done. We did it. Congratulations! Oh And it’s summer time now too. Wow! Oh and Who am I fighting. … These photos are from a few days ago at a studio in Dublin’s City centre. I was to announce to the world my @properwhiskey donation to @Tunnel2Towers. A great day! A proud day, I brought my family with me to the studio. Sitting in the chair about to beam live to all the U.S morning talk shows, I get a phone call telling me that my lovely little auntie Anne had passed away. I couldn’t go live anymore. My poor little friendly loving auntie. My mother’s sister. This stupid fucking virus. What the fuck is happening. I took my family to bull island. Looked out at the sea. Took a deep breath. Thank fuck! Lord thank you 🙏 Stay tight people! We are all we got ❤ Rest in Peace Anne Moore I love you
