Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston has urged everyone to wear masks, and cited the fight that a close friend of hers named Kevin is waging against Covid-19 as the reason. "This is our friend Kevin. Perfectly healthy, not one underlying health issue. This is Covid. This is real. We can't be so naive to think we can outrun this... if we want this to end, and we do, right? The one step we can take is PLEASE #wearadamnmask," she captioned the post.

And most of all yourself. Covid affects all ages. PS this photo was taken in early April (he gave me permission to post!). Thank god he has almost recovered now. Thank you all for your prayers u00f0u009fu0099u008fu00f0u009fu008fu00bcu00e2u009du00a4u00efu00b8u008f

Along with it, she put up a picture of Kevin in the hospital, battling the virus.

Aniston added: "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."

"PS this photo was taken in early April. Thank god he has almost recovered now. Thank you all for your prayers," she wrote.

Encouraging people to wear masks, she uploaded another image where she and her friend, actress Courteney Cox, are seen wearing similar masks.

I understand masks are inconvenient and uncomfortable. But don’t you feel that it’s worse that businesses are shutting down... jobs are being lost... health care workers are hitting absolute exhaustion. And so many lives have been taken by this virus because we aren’t doing enough. u00e2u00a0u0080 u00e2u00a0u0080 I really do believe in the basic goodness of people so I know we can all do this u00f0u009fu00a5u00b0 BUT still, there are many people in our country refusing to take the necessary steps to flatten the curve, and keep each other safe. People seem worried about their “rights being taken away” by being asked to wear a mask. This simple and effective recommendation is being politicized at the expense of peoples’ lives. And it really shouldn’t be a debate u00f0u009fu0099u008fu00f0u009fu008fu00bc u00e2u00a0u0080 u00e2u00a0u0080 If you care about human life, please... just #wearadamnmask u00f0u009fu0098u00b7 and encourage those around you to do the same u00e2u009du00a4u00efu00b8u008f
