Celebrities Are Sharing Their Quarantine Experiences, Some People Find It Offensive
Most countries with reported outbreaks of the coronavirus are recommending that people self-isolate. That means staying at home and not leaving unless it’s absolutely necessary. Like, if you run out of food or need to go for a quick stroll in the park for some exercise to calm down.
With more and more celebrities self-isolating, pictures of them during quarantine are circulating all over the internet. BuzzFeed created a list of photos showing celebs enjoying themselves at home during the coronavirus outbreak and some other media sites have done the same, and it’s created a heated discussion online.
Some people are angry at these celebs for flaunting their wealth on social media. While others believe that there’s nothing to get mad about: these celebrities earned everything they have by working hard and pursuing their dreams. But what do you think, dear Pandas? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

Different people having different incomes and living conditions is nothing new. It’s a fact of life. Even though we’re all equal, we make our own decisions and have access to different opportunities. That means that some of us have more freedom when it comes to self-isolating than others. It is what it is.
Whether you judge Arnold Schwarzenneger and Jimmy Fallon for being rich while most of us are stuck in cramped apartments is completely up to you. Meanwhile, the media is split down the middle as well, with some news sites shaming celebs and others focusing on the common factor: that we’re all in this together and that some celebrities are encouraging us and giving us hope.
There’s no denying that self-isolation is hard. Least of all because when we’re told to stay inside, suddenly, a small voice inside of us tells us that we should explore the great outdoors. Even though some of us would normally spend most of our time at home anyway.
Naturally, many people weren’t relating to the struggles of these celebs and responded with snappy remarks:
Some even created memes angered by the situation:
Luckily, former astronaut Chris Hadfield has some handy tips for us. He spent some time self-isolating before flying out to space to make sure he felt alright being alone during his real space missions. So it’s safe to say that he’s an expert on loneliness and boredom.
“Take care of yourself, take care of your family and friends, take care of your spaceship,” Hadfield joked.
Astronaut Hadfield told the BBC that it’s important to stay up-to-date with current news. Of course, he suggests reading and watching reliable sources of information. This way, you’ll be able to know how global and local events can affect you and your loved ones.
He also explains that it’s vital that you set yourself goals: from simple daily tasks to long-term goals. When self-isolating, you should have a list of things to do so that you stay busy and have something to look forward to. If you don’t, that’s when anxiety starts to set in.
What’s more, Hadfield heartily encourages people to learn new skills with all the extra time that’s available to you. Ever wanted to learn to play the guitar? Well, now’s your chance. Have you been thinking of writing that Next Great American Novel but were always too busy to set pen to paper? Finally, the perfect opportunity to show the world your skills!
But others started jumping in to defend these celebs, saying there’s nothing wrong by living big as long as they are safely staying at home:

The struggles of people who do not need to be concerned about their financial status is NEVER the same as those of us who do. Regardless of the circumstances the interests of the wealthy never mirror the interests of those who struggle financially.

Dear celebs : Don't sing, donate !! Preferably without sharing that also.

Doctors who spend years at university and who are often up to their eyeballs in debt and retail workers who can themselves barely afford to live (and countless others) - those people are are out there risking their safety for all of us. Without them our society would literally fall to pieces. Without the celebrities we might have a song or a movie less.

I’m really appreciating the delivery drivers, grocery clerks, truckers, whoever is keeping the water and electricity going, Amazon warehouse workers and all the people who are keeping our society functioning.

I feel like most people- even without this going on- have some sort of feeling about celebrities and their giant houses. In normal circumstances most people look, go holy c**p my house could fit in their living room, and move on. Right now though, listening to people in their big af mansions talking about how we're all in this together, as I sit in my 500 square foot house with my husband- we're just not in the same situation. We're both stuck home, yes. But that looks VERY different for us. That and honestly even we're doing pretty well, we have a house, we like each other, we don't have kids, etc. No hate on having kids- but thus is definitely rougher for you guys who have them. My beagle isn't asking questions. I am hoping this changes the value we place on people though- celebrities aren't the ones holding us together. Doctors, nurses, teachers, retail and food service workers, factory workers, journalists (national and local)- where are their giant friggin houses?

Such a perfect insensivity demonstration... I really hope this pandemic may reawaken consciences so we all can finallly understand what's really important for our daily life. Good healtcare system, good teachers, also firemen, policemen, decent wages, healthy environment, healthy food, safe and good work conditions, decent houses... we need this to build a true society/community When your house is burning you need a fireman, not an showman; if your'e sick you need a doctor, not an influencer Our purpose in life should not make money at any cost, but improve ourselves to improve the society. I really hope to ear people yelling to their politicians that the economy must adapt to the needs of the population. Currently we are going the opposite way. My humble opinion of course

This is all true. I also hope that, from this unfortunate situation, something good comes up. This is a chance to reflect and make plans to make changes. I hope we, as a society, learn a few good things from all this.

We are the ones that made them rich. Did you enjoy their movies, sports or music. Well you paid for those fancy things, dont be jelly....While I sit in my crappy little rental and wish I had toilet paper and milk, not to mention my prescriptions.

In the case of the "breakdown" thing from Sam Smith, that kind of thing seems fair. No matter how comfortable your home is or how well stocked your fridge is, if you can't see your loved ones you're gonna feel like s**t.

That's a good point. At first I scoffed at it too but you're right. We should have more empathy for one another. Also, I mean ridiculing someone who might be having a mental health breakdown isn't helpful nor kind.
