GLUMICA SE RUGALA NA RAČUN KORONAVIRUSA, A SAD SE POSIPA PEPELOM 'Duboko se ispričavam. Djedovi, bake, roditelji, djeca, sestre i braća umiru...'

Samo u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama do četvrtka je zabilježeno više od 81.000 slučajeva zaraze virusom COVID-19, više od 1000 ljudi je umrlo, no usprkos tim zastrašujućim brojkama, mnogi i dalje situaciju nisu shvatili ozbiljno.

Tako se i glumica Evageline Lilly (40), zvijezda hit TV serije "Izgubljeni", isprva izrugivala globalnoj panici koju je izazvao koronavirus - štoviše, čak je tvrdila kako je to sve "unaprijed smišljena propaganda američke vlade koja iskorištava pandemiju kako bi ugrabila što više moći".

Lilly je također odbijala otići u (samo)izolaciju, no sad je na Instagramu otkrila kako se ipak predomislila, a javnosti se ispričala zbog svojih nesmotrenih izjava i komentara na račun širenja zaraze, prenosi The Mirror.

- Upute službenih tijela od 16. ožujka dramatično su se promijenile u okrugu u kojem živim... Duboko se ispričavam zbog vlastite neosjetljivosti koju sam donedavno pokazivala na račun vrlo stvarne patnje i straha koji su zahvatili svijet kroz COVID-19...

- Djedovi, bake, roditelji, djeca, sestre i braća umiru. Svi se udružuju kako bi pronašli način da zaustave ovu prijetnju, a ja sam, nažalost, svojim prijašnjim postupcima u javnost slala vrlo lošu i arogantnu poruku...

Hello everyone. I am writing you from my home where I have been social distancing since Mar 18th – when social distancing was instituted in the small community where I am currently living. At the time of my Mar 16th post, the directives from the authorities here were that we not congregate in groups of more than 250ppl and that we wash our hands regularly, which we were doing. Two days later, those directives changed and, despite my intense trepidation over the socioeconomic and political repercussions of this course of action, PLEASE KNOW I AM DOING MY PART TO FLATTEN THE CURVE, PRACTICING SOCIAL DISTANCING AND STAYING HOME WITH MY FAMILY. I want to offer my sincere and heartfelt apology for the insensitivity I showed in my previous post to the very real suffering and fear that has gripped the world through COVID19. Grandparents, parents, children, sisters and brothers are dying, the world is rallying to find a way to stop this very real threat, and my ensuing silence has sent a dismissive, arrogant and cryptic message. My direct and special apologies to those most affected by this pandemic. I never meant to hurt you. When I wrote that post 10 days ago, I thought I was infusing calm into the hysteria. I can see now that I was projecting my own fears into an already fearful and traumatic situation. I am grieved by the ongoing loss of life, and the impossible decisions medical workers around the world must make as they treat those affected. I am concerned for our communities – small businesses and families living paycheck-to-paycheck – and I am trying to follow responsible recommendations for how to help. Like many of you, I fear for the political aftermath of this pandemic, and I am praying for us all. At the same time, I am heartened by the beauty and humanity I see so many people demonstrating toward one another in this vulnerable time. When I was grappling with my own fears over social distancing, one kind, wise and gracious person said to me “do it out of love, not fear” and it helped me to realize my place in all of this. Sending love to all of you, even if you can’t return it right now. EL

Posebno se ispričavam onima koji su najviše pogođeni ovom pandemijom. Nikad mi nije bila namjera ikoga povrijediti. Pokušavala sam unijeti mirnoću u histeriju, ali na krivi način...

Pogađaju me izgubljeni životi i teške odluke koje zdravstveni radnici diljem svijeta moraju svakodnevno donositi kako bi izliječili oboljele. Brinem se za našu zajednicu, za male tvrtke i obitelji koje žive od plaće do plaće - napisala je Lilly na društvenoj mreži i dodala kako su sad i ona i njezina obitelj (dva sina i otac koji boluje od leukemije) također u izolaciji te svi maksimalno izbjegavaju društvene kontakte kako bi se spriječilo širenje zaraze.

Inače, koronavirusom se zarazio i Evangelinein kolega iz serije "Izgubljeni", 51-godišnji Daniel Dae Kim, kojeg gledamo i u TV uspješnici "Hawaii Five-0".
