Samuel L. Jackson has a NSFW message for everyone during the coronavirus pandemic: Stay the f*** at home. Most everyone these days has heard the call to stay at home and help flatten the curve during this worldwide crisis. Medical experts have told people to stay at home and practice social distancing to prevent further spread of the disease, but there are still some who refuse to acknowledge the threat. Most notably, Ant-Man and the Wasp actress Evangeline Lilly posted online that she wasn't quarantining her family, an announcement that was met with a great deal of backlash. Lilly has since posted an apology and promises she's taking the situation seriously.
Coronavirus has affected almost every aspect of every day life. When it comes to the entertainment industry, film studios and television networks have been hit especially hard. Studios have been forced to shift release dates for their upcoming releases, and several networks have shows who are unable to complete their current seasons. Across the board, film and television productions have been shut down as everyone seeks to keep their casts and crews safe. Through it all, people are asking others to stay home.
Jackson recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live From Home, video-conferencing with Kimmel from the safety of his own house. Midway through the interview, Jackson decides to read a new poem from the author of Go The F*** to Sleep, Adam Mansbach, in honor of the coronavirus quarantines. Jackson previously performed the audio book for Go The F*** to Sleep and is all too happy to tell people to "Stay the F*** at Home."
Jackson is undoubtedly the best pick to read this particular poem, and he's got a very good message in it. He tells everyone to say home as if their name is "Trenton Quarantino," a nod to his frequent director Quentin Tarantino. The poem also reminds people that they can still stay in touch with friends while staying home ("Use the motherf***ing app on your phone!"), and that they shouldn't leave unless they just ran out of groceries.
It can definitely be hard to be content with staying cooped up at home especially now that spring has begun to arrive. However, as Jackson says, staying home is the only way to ensure things will return to normal. It's hard to say exactly when things will get better, but until it does, it's best that everyone listen to Jackson - Nick Fury himself - and stay at home.
