Alyssa Milano calls on celebrities to help end pandemic, says if not ‘we don't deserve our platforms’

Alyssa Milano pressed that celebrities can help end the pandemic and that what the world needs, in order to combat the coronavirus, is a “diverse set of tools to help slow the spread of COVID-19, including diagnostics and treatments, as well as a continuance of preventive measures such as hand washing, physical distancing and mask-wearing.”

"I tell you, it makes me so frustrated to see celebrities who have huge platforms staying away from work like this out of fear of a negative career impact," she said. "We've been so lucky to have the attention of people around the world who probably don't pay as close attention to government or politics. It's our responsibility to our fans to help keep them safe, to fight against the horrible lies and politicization of science and medicine."
