Avengers and Lost actor Evangeline Lilly has said that she
values her freedom and does not want to self-isolate during the coronavirus
outbreak. Her comments have been widely criticised.
Evangeline Lilly plays the Wasp in the MCU.
Despite
her Marvel Cinematic Universe cohort Idris Elba and Lost co-star Daniel Dae Kim
testing positive for the coronavirus,
actor Evangeline Lilly has dismissed COVID-19 as merely a ‘respiratory flu’ not
worth self-quarantining for.
On
Thursday, the actor, who has appeared as The Wasp in MCU films Ant-Man and the
Wasp and Avengers: Endgame, took to Instagram and wrote, “Just dropped my kids
off at gymnastics camp. They all washed their hands before going in. They are
playing and laughing.”
When
one person wrote in the comments section that things were not as smooth in New
Mexico, Lilly suggested that the situation was being blown out of proportion.
“I think we all need to slow down, take a breath, and look at the facts we are
being presented with,” she replied. “They do not add up to the all-out, global
lockdown, control, pandemonium and insanity we are experiencing.”
