Family Guy’s Stewie Griffin Speaks Out on Coronavirus

Family Guy’s Stewie Griffin is one of TV’s most memorable animated characters. Now, Stewie, or rather his creator, Seth MacFarlane, who voices the character (along with others on the show) has posted a special message for viewers during this challenging time.

Family Guy’s Stewie Shares Wise Words

“For this brief duration: STAY HOME,” MacFarlane posted on his Instagram account. “You may feel healthy. You may BE healthy. The vast majority of COVID-19 cases are mild or asymptomatic. But you still may be a carrier, and you could pass it on to someone more vulnerable to it.

“This is not the apocalypse,” the actor/filmmaker/singer continues. “The world has seen pandemics before. This will pass, and life will return to normal. But if you don’t make a temporary life adjustment during this pause, you will be helping to increase the likelihood that this disease will spread, resulting in the inability of hospitals to care for the number of serious cases.

“You can choose to help save lives, or to disregard them. So for the sake of those most exposed to harm, stay home if you have the means. There are people who don’t have that option — from doctors to firefighters to transit workers to all those who don’t have the financial luxury that perhaps you do — and you will increase their exposure as well if you insist on going to that bar.

“A virus is not invincible. It can be suffocated, but only with a communal effort can we do so with speed and efficiency, and without buying 100 rolls of toilet paper. Be responsible, and it will pay off.”

MacFarlane’s sister, Rachael, who voiced the role of Hayley Smith on American Dad, concurs with her famous sibling. “100% to all of this,” Rachael posted. “You are always so rational and pragmatic and I hope people [expletive] listen to this.” Family Guy airs Sundays on Fox at 9 p.m.
