Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga react to COVID-19 pandemic

-

MILEY CYRUS has called for compassion amid the coronaviru­s pandemic.

The 27-year-old pop star has urged the American public not to stockpile food amid the health crisis, warning that “the more we hoard, the more expensive and sparse necessitie­s will become”.

Miley wrote on Instagram: “NO ONE needs every soup in the store, the more we hoard the more expensive and sparse necessitie­s will become, leaving many without essentiall­y.

“This is a great time to practise restraint ... it’s incredibly difficult to make smart decisions while panicking. (sic)”

Miley – who has 105 million followers on Instagram – insisted there is “enough to go around if we take care of one another”.

She wrote: “But think twice before following fear and being inconsider­ate. There is enough to go around if we take care of one another. This is a beautiful time to

LEAD! (sic)”

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga recently announced she has decided to self-quarantine and “not hang out with people over 65” amid the coronaviru­s crisis.

The 33-year-old singer took to Instagram to reveal how she’s coping with the global health crisis and to offer some supportive words to her followers.

Gaga wrote on the photoshari­ng platform: “So I talked to some doctors and scientists. It’s not the easiest for everyone right now, but the kindest/healthiest thing we can do is self-quarantine and not hang out with people over 65 and in large groups. I wish I could see my parents and grandmas right now, but it’s much safer to not, so I don’t get them sick in case I have it. I’m hanging at home with my dogs. I love you, world, we’ll all get through this. Trust me, I talked to God – she said we’re gonna be OK. (sic)”
