If "social distancing" is supposed to help, which medical experts say it does, then I don't give a fuck if you are Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Hindu or Buddhist.

I don't give a fuck what religion or nation or class you are from. The medical experts do not give a shit about where you live or what you believe, they are all saying distance is the only thing that can reduce transmission, along with washing your hands repeatedly, and avoiding physical contact, and cleaning commonly touched surfaces frequently.
But - apparently - you DO give a fuck if the people referenced happen to be Pakistani.
Why?

Yes, because I have a friend who lives in Pakistan.
You missed my point once again.
An asshole tried to single out Pakistan because they saw a mass group of Muslims packed in like sardines in a religious ritual. How the fuck is that different than the story of Jews doing the same fucking thing at the Wailing Wall? How is that different than churches in America ignoring the same warnings? It is not.
I am fine with ANYONE saying "You should not do that". I am not fine with anyone singling out any race/religion/nationality.
Again, it is not a Chinese virus, it is not a Muslim virus, it is not a Jewish virus, it is not a Christian virus, it is not a Buddhist virus, it is not a Hindu virus. It is simply a virus. And a virus that does not give a shit if it infects a Pakistani, or Australian or Mexican, or rich or poor. Just like the tsunami that killed over 13k in Japan didn't give a shit that it hit Japan.
