Celebrities continued to document their time in isolation by recording themselves performing music, reciting literature, and even chatting with former first lady Michelle Obama. Just like regular people.
Stars including Moby, Britney Spears, Ellen DeGeneres, Kevin Bacon, and Sir Patrick Stewart posted new social media videos in which they showed how they occupy themselves in the time of coronavirus. The videos range from wildly out-of-touch to modestly unassuming.
Moby recorded a quaint solo guitar performance performed during his stay at home:
