"I'm seeing lots of get togethers and hangs and parties still happening.This is the time to cancel plans, actually truly isolate as much as you can, and don't assume that because you don't feel sick that you aren't possibly passing something on to someone elderly or vulnerable to this.," she added. "It's a really scary time but we need to make social sacrifices right now," Swift concluded.

"My thought for the day is to accept there will be times we feel powerless and out of control--but we can fill that space with kindness and be a part of the solution to a world problem. We then have control. We can create healing by learning how to be kind and take care of each other and ourselves during this time," she concluded.
