\"You'd think that I'd be more prepared for this,\" he said.

\"I definitely have Negan in me, but it's really hard to bash a virus ... with a baseball bat,\" the actor laughed, adding that given the situation, they're \"very thankful\" to have their farm right now.

Of his series' gentleman farmer, he said: \"I'll tell you that I feel more like Hershel than I do Negan, to be honest with you.\"

For Burton, the call to do something was immediate.

\"I see people posting that they're bored and that kind of frustrates me,\" she said, \"because there are so many things that we could be doing to fill our time to help others.\"

Friday Night In with the Morgan’s! I did 100 takes with the donkeys... at least. I was out of breath physically lifting them up into position... and it sure DID NOT WORK!! We tried. Paxton didn’t want anyone else in but him... and I have bite marks on my rear to prove it. Asses run amok @themischieffarm @amc_tv @hilarieburton @amctalkingdead and of course @amcthewalkingdead Friday nights, 10pm AMC!! #fridaynightinwiththemorgans

\"If we're not making masks, we've been getting people who've been DMing me addresses of facilities that need masks or other PPE,\" she continued. \"And so then it just becomes an issue of connecting makers and places in need. Yeah, we've been sewing a lot.\"

Morgan is the delivery man for the finished supplies.

\"I think I've gotten three hours' sleep since this whole thing started,\" he joked.

\"Friday Night in With the Morgans\" debuts Friday at 10 p.m. ET on AMC.
