Jerry O'Connell Shows How 'Stand By Me' Would Look In The COVID-19 Era
A lot of classic movies are going to be looked at differently in the aftermath of the coronavirus era.
Just ask actor Jerry O’Connell, star of the 1986 classic “Stand By Me.”
The actor posted a tweet on Friday referencing the film in order to show just how much life has changed because of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus.
Spoiler alert: There are some big differences.

Penguins in the Amazon?! 🐧🌴
Some of the penguins went on a field trip to meet other animals at Shedd. Wellington seemed most interested in the fishes in Amazon Rising! The black-barred silver dollars also seemed interested in their unusual visitor. pic.twitter.com/KgYWsp5VQD— Shedd Aquarium (@shedd_aquarium) March 15, 2020
Tonka is a big therapy dog who lives just outside Austin, TX.
Normally, Tonka visits seniors living in a nursing home to give them comfort and joy. But with the coronavirus, visits to nursing homes have been banned.
So now he visits the seniors outside their windows pic.twitter.com/zXJKw1mtTE— Yashar Ali 🐘 (@yashar) March 19, 2020

Wish I could send you peace of mind via this app.
Alas.
But I can send you music no one's heard. Here's a cut Hamilton/Washington tune called I Have This Friend. No one's heard it, not even Kail.
Funnier if you picture me and @ChrisisSingin singing it.https://t.co/lhkLP0jQeT— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) March 12, 2020
