A new campaign from the state of Illinois called #allinillinois has celebrities sharing messages on YouTube to help people keep their spirits high while they continue partaking in good lockdown practices. Not only are these messages relevant to the Land of Lincoln, but they’re all too relevant for the rest of America (and many countries around the world), especially for those living in major cities with dense populations. But don’t just take my word for it, listen to Jane Lynch, Mandy Patinkin, Andy Richter, Nick Gehlfuss, and Rick Nielsen, and Ike Barinholtz

It’s critical that we all do our part now in order to help squash the spread of the coronavirus as quickly as possible. With summer just around the corner, I think it’s safe to assume that none of us want to spend any more time indoors than is absolutely necessary. So do your part, stay inside, keep your distance from others when in public, and remember, this too shall pass.
