In a world where the masses are hoping for a cure to coronavirus, M.I.A. revealed that she is against vaccination. She made a declaration on Twitter that "If I have to choose the vaccine or chip I'm gonna choose death." Some people thought that the artist's remarks were inappropriate, especially because medical professionals are working overtime to find a vaccine to COVID-19.

Users began to condemn M.I.A. but she shared her story of why she decided to become Anti-Vaxx. "Yeah in America they made me [vaccinate] my child before the school admission," she wrote. "It was the hardest thing. To not have choice over this as a mother. I never wanna feel that again. He was so sick for 3 weeks then Docs had to pump him with antibiotics to reduce the fever from 3 vaxins."

She later sent out tweets telling the public not to live in fear while encouraging them with affirmations of health and positivity. However, people continued with disapproving comments while some called for M.I.A. to be "canceled." It would do much good since she said it was "irrelevant" anyway. It's clear that vaccinations continue to be a polarizing topic of conversation. Check out a few tweets below.

The relationship between James Woods and Twitter has grown contentious. Recently, former Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum was found by police in a hotel room with meth and a gay escort who reportedly overdosed on drugs. Since the news first circulated, Gillum has apologized and entered rehab. However, after photos of the aftermath in the hotel room were leaked, Andrew Gillum and his wife have announced that they're separating.

James Woods, along with the rest of the world, has watched the demise of Gillum unfold in real-time. The acclaimed actor shared the controversial leaked photo from the hotel room scene that is said to be of a nude Gillum passed out on the floor. Authorities came forward to say they weren't aware of how the picture made its way to the public, but by that time, Woods was using it as a way to take a jab at the political figure. Twitter didn't take too kindly to Woods's actions, so they banned him.

“So @RealJamesWoods has been locked out of his account again for sharing ‘intimate media’ of a drunk, naked, puking politician,” Woods's girlfriend tweeted. “His response: ‘Twitter is, of course, protecting Andrew Gillum because no one should ever know how vile these Democrat scum truly are.’ #FreeJamesWoods.” Check out a few tweets below.

A reckless influencer in California claims to have been hospitalized with coronavirus shortly after he posted a video of himself licking a toilet seat in a public washroom, as part of a particularly disgusting challenge on TikTok. As clout-chasing becomes almost as dangerous of a disease as coronavirus itself, it would appear that some of the less bright folks on the Internet have decided to participate in a viral challenge on TikTok, which seems them licking the seats of public toilets, open ice cream tubs in grocery stores, and more.

However, according to reports, at least one participant is facing the consequences of his incredibly stupid actions. A 21-year-old Beverly Hills native, who goes by the name Larz on TikTok, reportedly shared a video of himself in a hospital bed on Twitter, revealing that he has "tested positive for Coronavirus." His account, @GayShawnMendes, has since been suspended.

A Missouri man was charged with making a terrorist threat after footage spread of him licking a number of items inside a Walmart store, in an attempt to mock the panic surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. 26-year-old Cody Pfister uploaded the video of himself on social media, in which he can be heard asking his viewers “who’s afraid of the coronavirus?” He then proceeds to run his tongue across some of the merchandise inside the Warrenton, Missouri store. The video was widely shared across the Internet, leading numerous complaints to be filed about the threat that Pfister’s actions pose during these dire times.

The City of Warrenton Police Department issued a statement earlier this week, addressing the situation. “A local resident who took a video of themselves licking the merchandise after making a ‘Corona Virus’ statement at Walmart and posting it to social media has been taken into custody,” the statement reads. “This particular video, which won’t be shared here, has gained some international attention and we have received numerous reports about the video from locals, nearby residents, as well as people from the Netherlands, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. We take these complaints very seriously and would like to thank all of those who reported the video so the issue could be addressed.”

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office applauded the police department for taking action, noting how “frustrating” it is “that we have to waste valuable resources on calls like this during these trying times.”

Pfister has officially been charged with making a terrorist threat due to his reckless behaviour. The charge is considered a low-level felony.

The CDC reports that coronavirus RNA, the genetic material of the virus that causes COVID-19, survived for 17 days on surfaces of the Diamond Princess cruise ship, after passengers had already left. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published the study on Monday, after examining the Diamond Princess cruise ship docked in Yokohama, Japan and the Grand Princess cruise ship docked at the Port of Oakland in California. Both ships had been quarantined prior to docking, after folks on board each ship had tested positive for COVID-19. According to the study, coronavirus RNA was found on multiple surfaces in the Diamond Princess cabins up to 17 days after passengers had vacated the ship, but before the disinfection process had commenced.

However, it was determined that transmission largely occurred between passengers prior to quarantine, and researchers could not determine if initial transmission occurred from these contaminated surfaces. As for crew members, they were mostly infected during or after quarantine. The Diamond Princess was previously reported as the site with the most cases of coronavirus outside of China. 621 people had tested positive for COVID-19, with two passengers—an 87-year-old man and an 84-year-old woman—dying from the virus. On the Grand Princess, 21 people had tested positive for coronavirus, including 19 crew members and 2 passengers. The vessel had 2,400 passengers on board.

“The results provide key information about the stability of [the virus] and suggests that people may acquire the virus through the air and after touching contaminated objects,” the National Institute of Health said in a press release. It had previously been found in a study by the New England Journal of Medicine that coronavirus can survive for 3 hours in aerosols (liquid droplets in the air, from coughs or sneezes), 4 hours on copper, 24 hours on cardboard, and 2-3 days on plastic and stainless steel. To prevent contracting coronavirus from one’s fingertips, the CDC recommends washing one’s hands for at least 20 seconds each time, and to avoid touching one’s face.

As the quarantine continues, Americans may have an end in sight. President Donald Trump wants the quarantine lockdown on the United States to be lifted by Easter, and he chatted with Fox News and stated that if citizens aren't out and about soon, there will be "suicides by the thousands." He added, "We have to put the country to work. You are going to lose a number of people to the flu, but you are going to lose more people by putting the country in a massive recession or depression."

"You are going to lose people. You are going to have suicides by the thousands," he continued. "You can't just come in and say, 'Let's close up the United States of America.'" It's Trump's goal to get the economy back up and running instead of having people quarantined in their homes. "There are people, they wanna save their business. They don't want to be locked up in some room or some apartment or house and in the meantime, their restaurant's closed, their business is closed," he said. "They wanna be saving their business. I believe very strongly, you're gonna lose far more people by going that way than you are if we kept this thing going."

Easter is about three weeks away, and while April 12 is the target, Trump added that people will still have to exercise precautions like avoiding physical contact and continuously washing their hands. “People get tremendous anxiety and depression, and you have suicides over things like this when you have terrible economies. You have death. Probably and — I mean, definitely — would be in far greater numbers than the numbers that we’re talking about with regard to the virus.” Check out clips of Trump answering questions about the pandemic below

Social distancing is helping to slow the spread of coronavirus, but cases are clearly still being confirmed. Retired NBA player Jason Collins has come forward to announce that he has tested positive for COVID-19. Collins shared the news on social media in a series of tweets explaining how he believed he contracted the virus.

"I believe I got it while on a trip to NYC at the beginning of the month for the Brooklyn Nets Pride night game. I had my first symptoms on [Wednesday, March] 11. Terrible headache. A few days later I had a fever and then the cough," Collins wrote. "On Saturday I went to the ER and got tested and spoke with some docs about the tightness in my chest. I’m home now resting but still experiencing some tightness and might go back to the hospital later today. On Saturday my lungs were clear, which obviously is good."

Collins thanked the public for the well-wishes and revealed that his partner also has been diagnosed with COVID-19. "Please stay safe and continue to social distance," he advised the public. "Thank you to every single health care worker out there that are our true heroes on the frontline. Please let’s try to flatten the curve & not overwhelm our health care system."

If Collins's name sounds familiar, it's because in May 2013, he became the first active male athlete in American sports to come out as gay on a large media platform. After playing 13 seasons in the NBA, Collins retired from the league. He gained national attention when he was shared his coming out news in a cover story fo Sports Illustrated.

Some couples are using this time of social distancing to get a little space from one another while others decided to be quarantined together. Rapper Jeezy and his girlfriend Jeannie Mai are staying in and using this mandatory time at home to connect more with their families. On Monday (March 23), Jeannie told E! that because The Real is on pause for the moment, all of the show’s hosts are spending time connecting with their viewers through social media.

“All of us ladies are on hiatus, so it’s not affecting so much right now,” Mai said. “But it’s so important to have social media to keep in touch with our fans. I love that our show is meant to entertain and educate and also just enlighten people. We’re silly, we’re fun and we’re passionate, and so the show going on every day helps for people to just take their minds off things.”

Fans aren’t the only ones connecting. Yesterday, Jeannie shared a video on her Instagram page that shows her mother, Oli Mai, and Jeezy enjoying a family movie night. It looks like he’s introducing her to a classic black film that we’d say everyone needs to see at least once: Coming to America. We don’t know which is more entertaining, the movie itself or Jeezy singing, “She’s your queen to be…” Check it out below and let us know what movies you think are a must-watch during this quarantine.

As we navigate through this global pandemic together, we learn more about what we can do to prevent the spread of COVID-19 every day. With breaking news every hour, it can be difficult to remain sane during these trying times. We're in self-quarantine in order to protect our family members who are older, immunosuppressed, or at risk of developing serious health issues as a result of the coronavirus. Meek Mill knows how harmful it can be, explaining that he has having flu-like around Christmas time, which ultimately went unresolved. With his description, some fans are convinced that he had the illness before anyone else.

"I was extremely sick in December around christmas time with flu like symptoms," revealed Meek Mill on Twitter. "Everyday I said to myself a older person cannot survive this! I lost like 15 pounds and could barely move! I never been that sick.. a doctor never told me what it was."
