Other commentators, such as RMH III, have expressed concern about Carano’s apparent lack of concern about the coronavirus outbreak:
Gina, I do not like people and I’m not going to give you a minute shit about COVID, but 350,000 people have died from this disease and most of the transmission is from people who are not symptomatic. Other countries that have locked up have suffered far less than we have suffered.

Dang. I do not agree with everything @ginacarano may say, but I absolutely love her character in the Star Wars universe. I plan to go to the Star Wars universe after death. I hope to see the Marshall [sic: Marshal] at some point when I’m on Tattoos in my form as a Java [sic: Jawa] hunting for scrap.
