How COVID Hit the Kardashian Family

It’s time to keep up with the Kardashians during quarantine. Keeping Up With the Kardashians is taking on COVID-19 and quarantine in the latest season. In season 19 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the family takes fans through the development of the COVID-19 pandemic.

While the whole family planned to attend Kanye West’s Paris Yeezy Fashion Show in early March, only Kim and Kourtney Kardashian felt comfortable attending. Scott Disick and Khloe Kardashian talked about their decision for not going on the most recent episode of KUWTK. Khloe tells Scott, “Mom says they’re going to shut down the airport. She’s like if you go and they shut down the airport, you’re going to be away from True for God knows how long,” Khloe tells Scott. Scott responds with similar worries, especially with Kourtney going as well. “Kourtney says she’s going to take Penelope,” he tells Khloe. “Therefore, I don’t want to go and then my kids are at home…we’re staying home baby,” Disick says.

Both Khloe and Scott come to the consensus that they’re too nervous to attend Kanye West’s Paris fashion show. “I might be overdramatic, but there’s just so much uncertainty that I don’t feel comfortable traveling,” Khloe admits to Scott.

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian Fled Paris

While Kourtney and Kim felt comfortable flying to Paris to support Kanye’s show, they just barely made it home before major shutdowns. The show took place on March 3, 2020 and just two weeks later – on March 17, 2020 – President Emmanuel Macron enforced severe restrictions throughout the country and internationally. Since March 1, over 31,000 people in France have died from COVID-19 – one of the highest counts in Europe.

At the Yeezy Season 8 collection fashion show, North West made her rapping debut. She proclaimed, “My name is Northie,” and then began to rap.
