Celebs thank health care workers on front line of coronavirus fight
Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jimmy Fallon and Robert De Niro are among the New York celebs who pack a short video sending words of thanks and encouragement to the city’s health care workers on the front lines of the fight against coronavirus.
“Hello, this is a message to all the health care workers out there,” “Hamilton” creator Miranda starts the minute-long clip, followed by expressions of thanks from Fallon and De Niro.
“We all are feeling a tremendous amount of fear and uncertainty at a time like this. You’re not immune to that, I know,” says Ron Howard, the veteran actor and director of “Solo: A Star Wars Story.”
“And yet, there you are,” Howard adds.
“Thank you so much for everything you guys are doing to keep us all healthy and safe,” says Rachel Brosnahan, star of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” appearing with her husband, “Younger” star Jason Ralph.
“I know you guys don’t have the option of staying home,” realty TV star La La Anthony adds.
“Tonight Show” host Fallon sums up the message with a simple line, “You guys are truly heroes.”
Fallon also launched the “Cowbell Challenge,” asking Americans to step outside Friday night and make noise to show support for first responders and each other.
The video was posted on Twitter by the Greater New York Hospital Association, the lobbying group for the state’s hospitals. It’s received about 33,400 views.
