I do feel bad for them, just as I feel bad for anybody else suffering with the coronavirus. If a person gets a "good" case of it they will be miserable for weeks or they may even die.

That said, it's impacting the average American much worse, so my heart especially goes out to them. I feel bad about all the small businesses too. I wish them luck, but I know that this will put many out of business because of the virus.

They could complain that the government has no right to impede freedom of movement and hinder freedom of association but I'm quite sure that's not going to happen.

And for those who are still at work in hospitals, sure we’re still receiving a paycheck. We’re also having serious trouble sleeping. I’ve had nightmares more frequently. Last time I had this many nightmares was before getting treatment for PTSD from things I experienced in the military. I worry about catching this and accidentally infecting my wife who has health problems. I made sure she knows where my life insurance policies are located. They have us wear a cheap disposable mask throughout the hospital but we know how useless that is if we encounter an infected person who isn’t wearing protective equipment (like those walking in from the street or a family member visiting and doesn’t know he or she is infected. I work next door to the morgue. The funeral home employees now show up with mask, gown, and gloves regardless of if the person they’re picking up was infected or not. If you’re married, what’s the longest time you e spent sleeping in the spare room? That’s where I sleep. Some staff who have a garage completely undress before entering their home now. Some staff bring spare clothes and shower at work, place work clothes in a trashbag, dress in street clothes, and then go home. So please celebrities, please tell me how rough you have it living within your mansion.

Entertainers are mostly TDS afflicted human trash.

I hope this pandemic leaves lasting damage on their industry.

Ricky Gervais bashes rich celebrities complaining about coronavirus quarantine
I bash them too. Most of them who I see are just actively promoting themselves and have nothing relevant to say. Their pandering is more that I can take.


Ex: Tom Hanks and his wife just can't give it up. Please go away, please.

I can see it. Rosie O chasing Joy Behar around trying to eat her and Joy squawking like a demented raven all while Whoopie tells stories about when she was a minor player on Star Trek NG.

True story time:

One of the less pleasant revelations from the war in Croatia that I had: a good half of entertainers are just plain stupid.
Didn't realize it in the time of peace, while they were singing, dancing or whatever they were doing. But then partisan media started interviewing that special breed of sheep about politics. O.M.G. Or, as Z generation would say today: I just can't.

Well, it takes some sort of catastrophe, obviously. And what I noticed is that the most intelligent celebrities do not try to send important message. They do not complain about their situation. The most intelligent celebrity understands that his work - actor, athlete, entertainer or whatever - when reduced to its bare bones is nothing else but to be a dancing monkey. But he or she needs to have a working brain to get that. It also helps when he or she is funny and talented. So, this is what an intelligent celebrity does in the time of crisis. I am serious as a heart attack - this is the most intelligent pandemic performance I have seen. It is funny, it brings a smile to your face, it is a bit self-deprecatingly humorous, and it shows an unexpected skill.
