It’s no secret that the Coronavirus is an issue all over the world, however, it’s weird to imagine how much it is impacting those around us, including celebrities all around the world.
It’s sad to say that some didn’t take this pandemic seriously until after they saw it could infect just about anything.
Celebrities and average people of different lifestyles and regions of the world are all being impacted by this virus all over the world.
Some examples of celebrities who have been threatened by this disease are Colton Underwood, former Bachelor and NFL football player; actors Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, who are both famous for their numerous films; along with some who have even died, such as Alan Merrill, the songwriter of the Joan Jett signature hit “I Love Rock and Roll.”
Other people that have been threatened by this issue include Prince Charles, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II. Another prince also fell victim to the virus. Prince Albert II tested positive for the virus back in March. Numerous celebrities have also had to get tested after exposure to the virus, including politician Ted Cruz and even the President of the United States.
The fact that this virus is impacting people around the world, regardless of socio economic status or, at this point, age truly demonstrates that this is a serious issue. At this time, it is strongly recommended that everyone stay inside and practice social distancing to slow the spread of the virus, as all of the celebrities and public figures mentioned above have been doing.
