Jack Osbourne and his dad Ozzy Osbourne are at a high risk for COVID-19 but are coping the best they can while in quarantine.

“I’m doing great you know. Just been kind of keeping my head down and trying to stay as healthy as possible,” Jack, 34, recently told ET.

Jack has been open about his battle with multiple sclerosis and Ozzy was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease so they are staying extra careful amid the outbreak. But the isolation has been hard on the 71-year-old rocker.

“He’s a little depressed because he can’t do anything. And he’s fallen victim to watching the news all day,” Jack said. “I’m like, ‘Dude, turn that crap off. [Watch] a little bit in the morning, a little bit at night. Get the you know, the broad strokes. But let’s unplug the IV of news right now.”

Jack then joked about how he didn’t want his father’s legacy to be about dying from a disease allegedly caused by someone eating a bat and referred to his notorious performance in 1982 when he bit off the head of a live bat.

“Here’s the thing, I am not letting a disease started by bats kill my dad. That’s not how this is going, ok?” Jack said. “This is not some giant revenge plot from bats to get my dad back.”

Still, everyone in the Osbourne family is trying to stay positive and healthy.

“There’s like this looming shadow of impending doom, and like, ‘Oh my god, I can’t believe this is happening.’ But then I’m on a really good routine at home. I’m exercising everyday, I’m like being one of those [people]. Trying to do good at home,” he shared. “I’m just not posting about it.”
