Hollywood celebrities like Madonna, Marion Cotillard, and Robert de Niro have called for radical change instead of returning to normal after COVID-19 lockdowns are lifted.
Hollywood actors including Madonna, Marion Cotillard, Roberto de Niro, Cate Blanchett, and Jane Fonda have signed an open letter published in the French newspaper Le Monde concerning issues with the lockdowns due to COVID-19.
A-list stars and scientists have pledged to put an end to consumerism and form a radical transformation after coronavirus lockdowns are lifted. They have pleaded for society to avoid going back to normal and encouraged changes to be made in everyone's daily lives.
Le Monde stated, "For these reasons, along with the urgency of renewing with a politics of social equity, we believe it is unthinkable to go back to normal. The radical transformation we need -- at all levels -- demands boldness and courage.
"It will not take place without a massive and determined commitment. We must act now. It is as much a matter of survival as of dignity and coherence."
The list of signatures have reached to more than 200 celebrities and scientists.
Confirmed cases of coronavirus have reached 3,691,683, with 258,256 fatalities, according to recent data from Johns Hopkins University.
The US has the most infection rates in the world, now reaching 1,206,886 with 71,220 deaths.
The letter comes as a result of several countries beginning to ease lockdown measures, which worries some health experts as a potential cause for a 'second wave' of the virus.
