As the coronavirus crisis has escalated in the United States, the celebrity complex has often been called upon or called upon itself. Chet Hanks has broadcasted solemn accounts of his parents’ health. A Cardi B Instagram Live PSA from last week has been remixed into a streaming hit. On Wednesday night, NBA commissioner Adam Silver told ESPN’s Rachel Nichols that the league’s season cancellation last week “was a larger decision than just the NBA. It got a lot of people’s attention.”
If the results sometimes grate or smack of entitlement, they’re also of a piece with a throw-anything-at-the-wall approach that’s come to characterize the country’s reaction to a spiraling pandemic. As Vanity Fair critic Richard Lawson wrote Wednesday, “These didactic tweets from famous non-experts seem born of a commonly recognizable worry, verging on terror—a consuming feeling of helplessness as we look up and see no organized system whirring above our heads.”
Perhaps it was with some of this crisis of authority in mind that Surgeon General Jerome Adams went on Good Morning America on Thursday morning to implore Kylie Jenner to help. As Page Six points out, Adams said on the show, “We need to get Kylie Jenner and social media influencers out there, in helping folks understand that, look, this is serious, this is absolutely serious. People are dying.” He also named NBA players Donovan Mitchell and Kevin Durant, who have both tested positive for COVID-19 and publicly said as much.
As footage circulated this week of college students on spring break professing not to be bothered by the pandemic—following a weekend with St. Patrick’s Day party footage showing the same—there’s been continued focus on young people’s precautions. Adams said that his own children, 14 and 15 years old, were neglecting public health advice: “The more I tell them not to do something, the more they want to do it.” He also pointed out that “new data” shows that young people might be more at risk than previously thought, and that even those not showing symptoms could spread the disease.
