Sometimes when you're in the grips of a global pandemic all you need is some reassuring words from The Terminator and his miniature equines.

The former governor of California took to Twitter last night to provide some words of advice on social distancing with some help from Whiskey his miniature horse, and Lulu, his diminutive donkey.

Alongside the video, Schwarzenegger wrote "Stay at home as much as possible. Listen to the experts, ignore the morons (foreheads). We will get through this together." Schwarzenegger's video at his L.A. home feeding his pets was shared on the same day that the current governor, Gavin Newsom, ordered that all bars and nightclubs in the state be closed, as the outbreak spreads.

The CDC also urged Americans yesterday to avoid any gatherings of 50 people or more, as millions of people suddenly find themselves at home, with their kids off school and no sign of a return to normalcy.

During the video, which has amassed over a quarter million likes, the 72-year-old actor introduces his two little indoor farm animals, while feeding them carrots and stressing the importance of not leaving the house, especially if you're over the age of 65, "so we stay home and we eat here... oh yes, that's yummy"

"We don't go out, we don't got to restaurants, we don't do anything like that anymore, we just eat with Whiskey and Lulu, we have a good time," he continued.

On Friday, Schwarzenegger shared a similar video on how to wash your hands alongside his Yorkshire Terrier, Cherry.

As of Monday the novel coronavirus had infected over 3,500 Americans, claiming 66 lives.
