Bebe Rexha has revealed that a friend of a friend has passed away from coronavirus at the young age of 45.
The singer is urging her fans to stay inside during this pandemic to help prevent the spread of the disease. While the virus affects mostly people who are elderly or have underlying conditions, the respiratory illness has taken the lives of some healthy young people as well.

In a separate tweet, Rexha offered her opinion on how the government could help Americans, tagging Donald Trump directly.
“The US government should put a stop to rent payments, mortgage payments and utility payments at least until the corona virus is under control. Millions of Americans are worried about keeping their jobs and their homes instead of staying safe.”
