As the pandemic, COVID-19, continues to spread across the globe, celebrities are beginning to reach out to their fans, asking them to follow the measures recommended to flatten the curve.
Most recently, Danny DeVito reached out on behalf of his state's governor, urging people to #StayHome!
2020 is off to a very rocky start.
Gyms, bars, restaurants, and shopping centers are shutting down, sporting leagues are suspending their seasons, travel bans are being implemented, festivals and concerts are being postponed, even the 2020 Olympics is being postponed!
Everyone is being asked to stay home and practice social distancing until further notice.
While you may not necessarily fall into either of those categories, you could still unintentionally spread it to somebody who is.
So, it is important for everyone to work together to protect the people who are at risk.
Celebrities, and those in influential positions, have been taking to social media — spreading the word to stay home.
"Here's the tea. Stay inside. Don't be [expletive] stupid," she said in an Instagram live stream last week. "Even if you count your freedom over... I don't know what is it, your health — I don't give a F about your freedom."
Numerous other celebs have spoken out as well, asking their fans to follow their lead and stay inside.
Taylor took to Instagram to single out the people who have continued living their regular lives, partying and hanging out in groups, asking them to start making "social sacrifices" for the rest of the world's benefit.
Ari expressed how surprised she was to hear that so many people are still being so careless — urging her followers to start taking this situation more seriously.
"So I talked to some doctors and scientists. It’s not the easiest for everyone right now but the kindest/healthiest thing we can do is self-quarantine and not hang out with people over 65 and in large groups," she wrote. "I wish I could see my parents and grandmas right now but it’s much safer to not so I don’t get them sick in case I have it."
On Sunday, New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo, shared a video message from Danny, urging people to stay home.
"I mean everybody. I mean, we got this virus — this pandemic, and you know, young people can get it".
I don't even want to imagine a world where Danny DeVito doesn't exist...
"And not spread this virus around. Thank you."
So, there you have it, folks! We need to do everything in our power to protect our fav guy, Danny, and everybody like him who is at risk.
