Finland has classified influencers as 'critical operators' during the pandemic, for their ability to communicate with a younger generation, and many social media stars have changed their messages during the coronavirus.
What's the future for influencers who are used to filling their social media feeds with images of their luxury trips, shopping hauls or new cars when they are now staying at home under lockdown?
Ricky Gervais, creator of "The Office," highlighted the gap between medics' lives and some celebrities in an interview. "These people are doing 14-hour shifts and not complaining. Wearing masks, and being left with sores, after risking their own health and their families' health selflessly. But then I see someone complaining about being in a mansion with a swimming pool. And, you know, honestly, I just don't want to hear it," he told U.K.
Baumann praised other influencers for their positive actions, including Joe Wicks, a fitness instructor who is posting daily workouts for schoolchildren on YouTube, and author David Walliams who released the copyright for his kids' books so teachers can use them in home-schooling videos.
Influencers are also working out whether to post about the coronavirus overtly. "It's really important to not be seen as 'jumping on' to what is a sensitive topic for commercial or popularity gain," according to Sarah Penny, head of content at data platform Influencer Intelligence, in an email to CNBC.
