Idris Elba Gives Much Needed Message On Coronavirus Pandemic
By: Omar Cook
If you haven’t been doing so already, it’s time to start taking this coronavirus pandemic seriously. Where and why it started can be questioned, but it’s time to prepare for the reality of the situation. We are in the middle of a world crisis that is causing the shutdown of just about all public gatherings and it could be a while before we move past this as a country.
President Trump issued a warning to stay out of groups of 10 or more and that this crisis could last up until August. Countries and states are preparing lockdowns around the world and we are also beginning to see prominent figures in our society test positive for the virus, which is starting to hit home for a lot of us.
Idris Elba took to social media share the news that he tested positive for coronavirus and gave a warning to take it seriously with the right precautionary measures. It is unfortunate that he contracted the virus, but the message is very important for people to hear.
This morning I tested positive for Covid 19. I feel ok, I have no symptoms so far but have been isolated since I found out about my possible exposure to the virus. Stay home people and be pragmatic. I will keep you updated on how I’m doing 👊🏾👊🏾 No panic. pic.twitter.com/Lg7HVMZglZ

Other notable figures who have contracted the virus include Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, and Tom Hanks. The virus itself may not be what the media is hyping it up to be, but at the same time we should be taking the right steps to keep safe. A lot of young people are taking this as a time to still get together and go out which is ill advised. Social distancing has to become a real thing until things get back to normal. Some important measures you should take include:
Washing your hands for 20 seconds at least multiple times throughout the day
Keep hand sanitizer on you
Social Distancing (no large groups)
Keep disinfectant wipes on you
If you feel sick, stay home
Disinfect your clothes and bedding
All in all family, don’t panic and don’t live in fear, but don’t be foolish and fail to prepare. None of us have any idea how long this issue will actually last. We’re all in this together so it’s a must that we come together to keep each other safe and protected. Be blessed.
