The coronavirus is bad — really bad — but, experts have said, it is not an existential threat... i.e. not the end of the world. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, stars of the 2004 zombie-apocalypse comedy Shaun of The Dead, posted a PSA about the coronavirus that basically told everyone not to do what they did in that end-of-the-world movie.
Don't go to the pub. Don't physically check-in on your older family. Do hang inside and follow health officials' guidelines.
"If you can, stay at home, have a cup of tea, and wait for all this to blow over," Pegg says in the video. "Above all, don't be a tw*t about things. We're all in this together. Don't be selfish, look after each other, give someone a call if you think they might be lonely, OK?"
