Superstitious people are panaroid, they’re exaggerating by burning paper money, being a civilised nation one should never easily resort into open burning, may be they’re not civilised as we thought, and it’s very gentle to called them superstitious, because they’re publicly announcing to burn the virus to dead, and the virus that barely kill a dozen of people, and mainly a FUD attempt to downplay some economy.
I have no idea why you would consider burning to remove any traces of the virus as superstitious. They literally stated it in their report. Additionally, they did not burn all of it, but some of it. They quarantined the others and let it go undertreatment via ultraviolet or heat treatments. They're doing this officially and scientifically as they can. I have no idea why burning cash = superstitious when it comes out of your mind.

Whats the point??? There is no evidence paper money can transmit the virus. It is person to person contact. Burning cash is a hysterical thing to do!! Everyone making mountains out of molehills about this Coronavirus stuff. The common flu will kill more people!!! People freak out just because there is no vaccine, thats all.
And there's also no evidence that it can't transfer it through paper money. Rather than letting it become a risk because of ignorance that they chose, wouldn't they choose the safest option? Lives are at stake here and I hardly understand why they would opt to choose the choice that could potentially increase the number of victims their country already has.
