Friends' star Jennifer Aniston has shared a photo of a family friend that shows his distressing experience with COVID-19 in an attempt to encourage people to take precautions against the virus.
The man in the photo is lying in a hospital bed intubated and unconscious. According to Aniston, the photo was taken in April, but he has now nearly recovered from the disease.
"Just think about those who've already suffered through this horrible virus. Do it for your family. And most of all yourself. Covid affects all ages", she wrote on her Instagram page.
The actress stressed that no one can outrun the virus, urging people to "wear a damn mask".
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, actors and Instagram influencers, as well as famous people and diplomats, have been sharing their face mask selfies on Instagram, asking people to stay safe both for their own sake and the sake of their relatives.
