James Milner has joked with Liverpool team-mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as they compare self-isolation activities.
The whole of the Premeir League has shut down with clubs not even training as they look to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
But Oxlade-Chamberlain tried to put an entertaining spin on things by sharing a video of him and celebrity girlfriend Perrie Edwards dancing in sync to pass the time.
Milner, who has often been mocked for his less than exciting lifestyle, responded with a video of himself rationing out tea bags.
The nation has gone into panic mode with shops around the country being cleared as families stock up.
He said: “Hey Alex_OxChambo Barrels of laughs here in the Milner household as well – rationing the tea bags for the week #crazydays #somuchtogetonwith #notgotthemovestocompete”
The outbreak of coronavirus has put this season’s Premier League in jeopardy.
Liverpool are primed to end their 30 year wait for a title and, even if the league is prematurely curtailed, there is little objection to the title heading to Anfield.

Manager Jurgen Klopp has been a big advocate of putting public safety before football with his recent comments drawing plenty of praise.
“If it’s a choice between football and the good of the wider society, it’s no contest. Really, it isn’t,” said the German.
“Today’s decision and announcement is being implemented with the motive of keeping people safe. Because of that we support it completely.”
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and Chelsea midfielder Callum Hudson-Odoi are two of the most high profile cases in English football thus far.
The Premier League has currently stated that games will recommence in early April, but may believe this to be an ambitious date.
A decision is expected from UEFA this week as they make big decisions over the future of this summer’s European Championships as well as the Champions League and Europa League.
