Celebs took to Twitter to react to U.S. President Donal Trump’s “don’t be afraid of COVID” tweet.
On October 5, President Trump, who recently tested positive for the virus, posted a tweet in order to announce that he would be leaving the Walter Reed Medical Center following treatment.
“I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!”
However, the expressions including his claims that COVID-19 nothing to worry about created controversy. Actor Chris Evans, best known for playing ‘Captain America’ in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series of films, was quick to reply to him. Evans accused the President of spreading false information about the deadly virus:
“Don’t be afraid of Covid?! 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.”
Similarly, the well-known singer and actress Mandy Moore took to Twitter, criticized him and encourage her fans and followers to vote against him in the upcoming presidential election:
“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”
Comedian and actress Sarah Silverman also had something to say against Donald Trump:
“You got care and meds no one else has access to. You are a disease spreading cu** with no regard for American lives at home or abroad. God sees you.”
