'Doctor Who's Thirteenth Doctor Sends Out a Message of Hope via Twitter
It's not just us humans who are being impacted by the pandemic, but even alien time lords. The Thirteenth Doctor, aka Jodie Whittaker, has turned to Twitter to address the mounting concern.
The Doctor has sent out an "emergency transmission," care of the Doctor Who on BBC America Twitter handle. It appears the TARDIS has detected an upsurge in people worrying. We find the Doctor herself in self-isolation, or as she likes to put it, "Hiding. From an army of Sontarans. But keep that to yourself." Side note: Your secret is safe with us, Doctor.
She goes on to provide some very sweet and sensible tips, with a five point plan: 1) Remember, you will get through this; 2) Tell jokes. Even bad ones; 3) Be kind. Even kinder than you were yesterday; 4) Listen to science and doctors; 5) Stay strong, be positive.
She elaborates on each one, which you can hear in full below:
