why celebrities should stay out of current news.
This time of quarantine has been very turbulent for some, and it seems like people are clinging onto any source of joy they can find to distract them from this weird, tragic time we’re living in.
People are trying their hardest to make the best out of the situation we’re in. With the rise in fatalities and cases of COVID-19, we’ve seen an increase in creative content on social media platforms, celebrity entertainment, and good news outlets which report on nothing but good news like the title suggests.
But what about “ordinary” people? The blue-collar workers this seems to have really affected? The ones who don’t live in million-dollar mansions, have a maid staff or access to childcare services? What about healthcare and other essential workers who’re risking their lives during this time?
Well, they’re struggling to pay their rent every month. They’re losing their jobs. They’re losing family members without the option to say goodbye. They’re holding funerals with less than ten people, if at all.
They’re the ones we should be focusing on. While news outlets continuously pump the stories of the Kardashians and Ellen Degeneres, now more than ever, we need some sense of commonality.
We need to feel as though we’re not the only ones going through what we’re going through from people who look like us. Those who go through the same things we go through. This pandemic is going to change our world. It already has. Any sliver of commonality or normalcy is welcomed at this point.
