<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Idris Elba’s time spent quarantined after contracting the coronavirus has given him a new outlook on the pandemic.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While speaking with the <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-ent-idris-elba-coronavirus-fund-20200420-lmtwkb2h3jgvjm6i5ba6d2tijy-story.html">Associated Press</a>, Idris suggested that people quarantine themselves for a week every year to remember the coronavirus pandemic.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think that the world should take a week of quarantine every year just to remember this time. Remember each other. I really do,” Idris said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;It&#8217;s been about six weeks from the beginning to this point right now for us, where it&#8217;s essentially our lives turned around,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Definitely scary and unsettling and nervous. And I think that&#8217;s been like a real collected world experience. You know, everyone&#8217;s sort of feeling the way we have been feeling, but it has definitely been sort of just a complete upheaval.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The couple, who are goodwill ambassadors to the United Nations, have tried to bring awareness to how the virus hurts farmers and food producers in rural areas, according to the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/actor-idris-elba-we-should-quarantine-a-week-every-year-in-remembrance-of-coronavirus-pandemic">Washington Examiner.</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Elbas are helping to initiate a global coronavirus relief fund on behalf of the U.N.&#8217;s International Fund for Agricultural Development designated to help prevent economic collapse. The fund will start with $40 million from the IFAC, and it has a goal of raising at least an additional $200 million from government agencies around the world.</span></p>
