Amidst the COVID-19 outbreak, people are advised to practice social distancing and to self-quarantine for a few weeks. However, some people seem to disregard those orders, with photos of crowded beaches making the rounds on the web. This is an unfortunate sight and shows that some people don't take the pandemic seriously, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier star Sebastian Stan is fumed.
While in self-quarantine, the Marvel star appeared in the Muscle and Fitness podcast where he shared his frustrations about the photos. "There was a meme going around which really kind of put me in my place which was like 'Your grandparents went to war, and you're being asked to sit on a couch.' Like, get the f**k with it," Stan said. He pointed out that he has friends who are in the workforce sleeping in their garages, working long hours, as well as the frontliners not being able to hold their children because they are afraid of spreading the coronavirus to their families.
"You hear that stuff and it blows my mind because it makes me feel like I have such privilege to be able to sit around here while these people are beating themselves," he said. "But what makes me insane is seeing that the beaches in f***ing Miami are still flooded with these f***ing idiots."
There are some people that don't even have the choice to self-quarantine and stay in their homes. However, the actor points out that the problem is for other people who can't take this seriously and are still going on beaches despite the orders. "We gotta remember our grandparents and parents have survived way worse," Stan said. "And we can do our part here."
On another note, production for Stan's upcoming Disney+ show has been halted due to the pandemic. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is currently set for release in August but it is likely to get pushed back, given the situation.
