A number of renowned celebrities have been encouraging their fans to self-isolate and temporarily social distance amid coronavirus outbreak.
One of the stars taking to social media to raise awareness about the pandemic is Taylor Swift who suggested that “things aren’t being taken seriously enough right now.”
“I follow you online and I love you guys so much and need to express my concern that things aren’t being taken seriously enough right now,” the Grammy winner wrote.
“I’m seeing lots of get together and hangs and parties still happening. This is the time to cancel plans, actually truly isolate as much as you can, and don’t assume that because you don’t feel sick that you aren’t possibly passing something on to someone elderly or vulnerable to this.”
According to Swift, we should all be willing to make some “sacrifices” to prevent coronavirus from spreading beyond control.
Meanwhile, Ariana Grande slammed people who say stuff like “this isn’t a big deal” and “we still have to go about our lives” and said:
“I understand that is how [you] felt weeks ago, but please read about what’s going on. Don’t turn a blind eye. It is incredibly dangerous and selfish to take this situation that lightly.
“The ‘we will be fine because we’re young’ mindset is putting people who aren’t young and/or healthy in a lot of danger. You sound stupid and privileged and you need to care more about others. Like now.”
After Grande’s audience suggested that the singer is the one who’s privileged and doesn’t have to work for a living, the Dangerous Woman hitmaker went on a rant.
“‘Well some of us have to work!’ I understand and entirely support your frustration. I do not mean to disrespect anyone who doesn’t have the privilege of canceled work or being able to call out of their work,” she expressed.
“But, this is a national emergency and a pandemic of global proportion.point 427 |
I am agreeing [with] y’all.point 29 | These are the times when the world should rely on their governments to support the plan for all citizens to stay at home and lessen the threat of infection and the spread of the virus.point 179 | 1
“Instead of responding with your frustration (that I totally agree with and support) call your senators! We need them to support this plan. Everyone deserves to be financially supported and feel safe at home during this time.”
