The Surgeon General, Jerome Adams, made an appearance on Good Morning America on Thursday (March 19) and called for help from some big names with regard to Coronavirus.
“What we really need to do is get our influencers — Kevin Durant, Donovan Mitchell, we need to get Kylie Jenner — we need to get our social media influencers out there and help folks understand that this is serious. People are dying. We are seeing new data emerging from Italy that young people may be at higher risk in different situations than what we previously thought. Think about your grandmother, think about your grandfather, think about the fact that you’re spreading disease that could ultimately kill them,” Dr. Adams said. The Coronavirus pandemic is serious and federal health officials want everyone to social distance in order to help halt the spread of COVID-19 as much as possible.
The Surgeon General also gave the advice to act like you have the virus to help ensure the safety of others.
Kevin and Donovan both tested positive for Coronavirus. Kylie revealed she has been practicing social distancing.
