Celebrities have been doing their part to fight the coronavirus, such as splicing together clips of themselves singing John Lennon’s “Imagine” and posting videos of themselves naked in a bathtub filled with rose petals, but things might have gone too far when Lionel Richie suggested an all-star remake of “We Are the World.”
Lady Gaga was late on the bathtub broadcast (Madonna beat her to it), but she did call WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus over the weekend to see what she could do.
Lady Gaga just got off the phone with the director of the World Health Organisation, and she's ready to fight coronavirus https://t.co/9WlvdPBIKZ

Ghebreyesus tweeted about it Saturday:
A very good call with @ladygaga. I thanked her for her continuing efforts to show compassion & kindness to the world. She is ready to support @WHO in any way possible in the fight against #COVID19. Together!
— Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (@DrTedros) March 28, 2020
And happy birthday @ladygaga! I am so touched that you’re spending this moment on finding ways to support the world during #COVID19. I send you my best wishes! Thank you for spreading kindness at such an important moment for all of us! Together!
— Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (@DrTedros) March 28, 2020
FYI: No one cares about celebrities anymore. We care about health care workers. That's it.

the same WHO that sides with China and fears to mention Taiwan as an independent nation? GREAT!

OMG. In the entire universe of vacuous, pointless tweets this has got to be the strongest contender for top slot. ???

You seem to enjoy celebrities while the world is dying. Keep celebrating them.

Problem solved. Great work everyone.

That really is representative of how effective and credible the WHO is right now.
I can’t wait to hear her parrot CCP talking points.— MasterchiefMoroni (@Hotchkiz) March 31, 2020
This explains far more about WHO than they prefer.

If we add Beyoncé to the mix we can have this thing defeated by the middle of April and America back in business #fingerscrossed #COVID19

Have you checked if Katy Perry has developed a vaccine?

The moment when you realize that Lady Gaga is more credible than the WHO.

Well, then, it's only a matter of time before this is all wrapped up, isn' t it?

Hey, Lada Gaga might come through and have her costume designers donate some blinged-out PPE. We trust her more than we trust the WHO at this point.
