Lively urged followers to "stay connected" while isolated in the pandemic, writing, "Remember those who are lonely and isolated, Facetime, Skype, make a video. Don't forget those who are lonely and isolated. She suggested ways to support the community, such as "shopping for the elderly" and "making lunches for the children." Even if that means simply staying home.

Reynolds shared a similar sentiment: "Take care of your body and mind. Leave room for joy." Call someone who is isolated and may need connection."
