The actress recorded a message for Doctor Who fans encouraging them to “listen to science” during the pandemic. She says: “Things will be all right, even if they look uncertain. Even if you’re worried, darkness never prevails.”
@Scientwins said: “Listen to the Doctor and her 5 points to get through this time. 1. You’ll get through this! 2. Tell jokes – even bad ones! 3. Be kind! We are all family. 4. Listen to Science! 5. Stay strong! Stay positive!”
@ellardent said: “Did Jodie Whittaker just have her definitive Doctor Who moment?!”
@Jodiestardis13 added: “I’ll be watching this multiple times per day over the months to come when I feel overwhelmed and scared. Thank you.”
@Nowwearealltom tweeted: “Wasn’t expecting Doctor Who to make me cry.”
@Kathiemaria93 noted: “This gets even cuter when you realise that Jodie isn’t filming Doctor Who ATM and she wanted to send out a positive message as her character. So she climbed into a cupboard (at least that’s what it looks like) recorded this and sent it to the DW team to post it.”
@Maxccurtis said: “This is what Doctor Who is all about, in the end. If Jodie Whittaker’s made just one child feel that little bit safer, she’s saved the day.”

An extinction rebellion group tweeted that coronavirus was the earth “curing’’ itslf of humans.
@coomunast tweeted: “Ah yes, a group called Extinction Rebellion celebrating a mass die-off of humans.”
@Ritapanhi tweeeted: “No surprise that Extinction Rebellion are relishing coronavirus catastrophe. What we’re seeing now...no travel, industries crippled, mass job losses is precisely what their ‘solutions’ look like. Bloody ghouls.”
@George_osborne said: “Looks like Extinction Rebellion just made themselves extinct.”
@Mike_p_williams wrote: “People ripping into Extinction Rebellion for those ghastly signs – after they’ve released a statement saying it’s a smear and not related to them – who are still ‘yeah but it aligns with their believes and it’s definitely them’, please give your heads a wobble.”
@Foxyuk said: “This is why Extinction Rebellion are viewed as a bunch of nutters.”
