Since the coronavirus outbreak began, celebrities haven't exactly been shy about sharing their personal experiences and responses to the pandemic.
Earlier this week, Hilary Duff addressed the "millennial a**holes" who continue to party instead of self-isolating, Vanessa Hudgens told her fans that self-quarantining until the summer "sounds like a bunch of bullsh*t" and A-listers such as Tom Hanks and Idris Elba are openly sharing their positive test results with their fans.
And now singer Sam Smith has taken to Instagram to share what they describe as the "stages of a quarantine meltdown". In their most recent post, Smith uploaded three snaps in which they seem to get progressively more distraught as they contend with self-isolation. They captioned the shots, "Thinking of you all x."
The 27-year-old also posted three videos, explaining how they were coping amid the pandemic.
Smith said in the video: "Hello everyone! This is a weird, weird, weird time, oh my gosh, very, very strange. I'm currently in my house. I have got a bit of a headache and allergies but I think I'm alright. But I wanted to stay in just to be safe.
Sam Smith speaks on how they are coping amid the coronavirus crisis:"This is a weird time. I wanted to reach out to every one of you right now, and send my love. I hope you're okay."
They added: "I hope you're mentally alright. It's going to be challenging for anyone who gets in here a little bit, like me.
"I just want to bring home and say how important this time right now is for all of us to remain a unit and look out for each other.
"All the older people - I'm worrying about my nan right now, I'm worrying about so many people. 'Be patient and giving, and share things - share food people!"
Smith continued:
"This is going to be an odd and different few weeks. I am going to try and do as much as I can to help. All I can really do - I am pretty s**t at everything else - but I can sing. 'So if I'm better in a few days I am going to play some songs and record them. And we can hopefully all have a little sing song together. It would be nice, we need it, music is a beautiful thing in a time like this."
They concluded by telling their fans: "I love you all very much. Please stay safe. Drink loads of water. Read. I hate reading. Do things to keep busy. I am going to watch TV because I'm bored s**tless!"
Smith lives in the United Kingdom, where there are currently 2,716 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 138 deaths.
