Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have suitably lifted fans spirits after recreating one of the famous scenes from Shaun of the Dead. However, this time the funny sketch relates to the coronavirus pandemic as a way of giving viewers tips on how to deal with the outbreak. In the clip, which was posted on Twitter, the actors' characters Shaun and Ed are talking on the phone as Shaun explains the plan.
"Right. Call mum, make sure she's okay. If Phillip has been infected, following the NHS guidelines to the letter." Addressing the Winchester pub, where they famously went in the film to have a pint and "wait for this all to blow over," he said: "Do not go to the Winchester. The pub is out... Especially if it's closed. Remember what happened last time?" He added to stay at home and give people a call in case they might be lonely.
