Hollywood Reacts To Coronavirus Confinements With Advice, Movie Lists

Since the coronavirus is an equal opportunity disease, Hollywood stars, media and politicians are all on lockdown with the common folk this weekend. That leaves plenty of time for social media outreach and advice.

With pressure mounting on governments to mandate confinement instead of merely suggesting it, it’s likely more celebrities will jump in with updates on what they’re doing to stave off the stir crazy.

We’ll monitor the outpourings as they roll in. But here’s an early sample of what’s on the minds of some of the famous people:

I was informed that a former staffer who left our office 10 days ago has tested positive for COVID-19.

Although doctors believe the staffer contracted the virus after leaving my office, I'm taking additional distancing precautions, including postponing meetings and teleworking: pic.twitter.com/EfwsDo1BZG
