People have been resorting to all kinds of things to get through the quarantine. For pop star Britney Spears, it was running. Like straight up Forrest Gump-escaping-bullies running.

In fact, in a now-deleted Instagram post, she claimed that she set a world record, running 5.97 seconds in the 100-meter dash and beating Usain Bolt.

These are the current world records – 

Men: Usain Bolt, 9.58 seconds (set in 2009) 
Women: Florence Griffith Joyner, 10.49 seconds (set in 1988)

This obviously set the people of Twitter on a roller-coaster of bewilderment.

She later clarified that it was all a big joke, and she was obviously kidding about being The Flash.

I was tired of being still so I got up to go dance in this orange dress 💃🏼 ….. and do you know what I just learned today ??!? That orange symbolizes wealth, success, stimulation, happiness, fun, balance, sexuality, enjoyment, expression, heat, sunshine, and warmth ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️🧘🏼‍♀️ and that’s how I felt when I put it on !!!!!!
