A friend posted an unconfirmed image of COVID-19 patients condition in Mali in one of my WhatsApp groups. Unconfirmed because the source is twitter.

@phdparody

To help my friend to see if the image is fake, or maybe is from another incidents unrelated to COVID-19, I did a Google reverse Image search. But the result was disappointing.

Somehow Google thinks this image is Capybara! *facepalm*

But when I clicked on the “All sizes” hyperlink, Google shown that it already has this image.

There are two oldest images (3 days ago, Apr 5th 2020):

@muntumosi

and

@laurylndong

I also notice there are search results which are not from twitter and has no “age” super imposed on the thumbnail. After checking and translating them, I can confirm that this image is a COVID-19 hoax. The image is actually came from incident in Guinea (uploaded in March 24th 2020)

You can check the original image in below links (WARNING: may contains gory images)
