Entertainment and COVID-19 pandemic
Entertainment is one of the industries that has been struck by the COVID-19 pandemic. The damage the epidemic has caused the industry is massive; however, there are steps taken by the entertainment firms in response to the COVID pandemic. Some actions are; the English Premier League games postponement to future dates; this was as a way to mitigate the spread of the virus, the vast gatherings witnessed during games won’t be there. The entertainment arena has done more by having the artists and musicians sing about the severity of the infection and practices that will keep people safe.
The celebrities have as fought in the war against the coronavirus. A majority of the well-known people have engaged in charitable acts as a way of responding to the virus. Sadio Mane, a Liverpool player, built a hospital out his pocket for his country people as an act of helping his people access medical attention when needed. The celebrities have as well donated millions of dollars meant to help the people around the world during the outbreak of the coronavirus. Celebrities have as well engaged more with their audience not only for entertainment but educational purpose on how to stay safe during the outbreak.
I have been affected mostly by this virus at a personal level. In my education I have been walloped; there are courses that were to be handled in class, but we have had to do them online because we are avoiding any occurrence that will likely put us in more danger of contracting the infection. Some of the students have contracted the disease, something that has caused me to panic and fear. I have had a friend who suffered from the infection. The rate at which people are dying from the infection is threatening; I have continually feared.
