You’ve been under round-the-clock care by the best doctors using the best drugs. Do you really think everyone has access to that?!
Sadly, I’m sure you’re aware of that disparity, you just don’t care
This is reckless to a shocking degree, even for you https://t.co/H8CGlD9DcZ
It seems like it is not just Chris Evans who went on to express his thoughts on Twitter. Donald Trump’s comment caused a stir in the entertainment community and many celebs took to their respective social media handle to express their frustration over the statement.
This Is Us fame Mandy Moore also went on to comment saying, “Don’t be afraid of covid? Tell that to the 210,000 families who have lost loved ones”. And it was not just her, celebs such as Padma Lakshmi, Josh Gad and many more shared their thoughts on the same. Check out a few tweets on the same.
Don’t be afraid of covid? Tell that to the 210,000 families who have lost loved ones. To the Black, Brown and Indigenous folks disproportionately affected. With tens of millions of jobs lost and the economy tanked. Many of us isolated for months. You’re the cruelest. #votehimout https://t.co/QhM47Pa3lx
