Consider COVID-19 officially at the top of the Terminator's hit list, as action superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger has recently issued a PSA encouraging fans to remain indoors amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

Schwarzenegger posted a video to social media on Sunday – in which he is flanked by his mini pony, Whiskey, and donkey, Lulu. Together, the trio urge the importance of self-isolating as a way of discouraging the spread of the novel disease.

"Stay at home," Schwarzenegger captioned alongside the video on Instagram. "Stay at home as much as possible. Listen to the experts, ignore the morons. We will get through this together." 

In the video, Schwarzenegger delivers his message to the masses while feeding carrots to his adorable animal companions. While the Last Action Hero delights in the company of his fur-covered friends, he explains to his millions of followers the dangers of coronavirus, particularly how the disease is a threat to the elderly community. Schwarzenegger, who is 72, is among those who would be considered a "high risk" for the more debilitating and possibly lethal effects of coronavirus. Granted Schwarzenegger is in great shape for his age, though with a history of heart trouble and the intimate details of the virus still being unknown, it is indeed better to err on the side of caution. That goes for everyone, even you young and restless out there.
