Hannah Brown insists she's not taking the ongoing coronavirus pandemic lightly although she's all smiles and goofing around with her The Bachelorette runner-up Tyler Cameron and his crew.

Hannah, who starred on The Bachelorette's fifteenth season, posted two photos of herself in a bikini on Friday while quarantining herself in Florida and captioned the images, "What's more contagious than a smile."

While Hannah received her fair share of compliments, such as former The Bachelorette star Desiree Hartsock calling her "beautiful," the Alabama native also faced backlash.
Many of Hannah's followers suggested her posting was "insensitive" in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which has resulted in fatalities and seriously-ill people as well as restaurants, bars, businesses and schools being shut down.

In response to Hannah's posting, the majority of comments were simply "Coronavirus" or "COVID-19," prompting Hannah to edit and update her caption later on.
"Just trying to spread some love here rather than fear, not making light of the situation," Hannah added to her original line.
Tyler picked Hannah up at Palm Beach International Airport, which is less than 30 minutes from Tyler's hometown of Jupiter, FL, on Saturday, March 14.
Since then, Hannah has been quarantining with Tyler and their "quarantine crew," which also includes Tyler's brother Ryan Cameron and best friend Matt James. The group has been filming and posting TikTok videos and workouts.
Tyler and Hannah have enjoyed time at the beach and at the pool together. And most recently, on Sunday, Hannah shared photos of the quarantine group dressed up like superheroes, saying they "crushed" the weekend.

Many The Bachelorette fans have been shipping Hannah and Tyler, hoping they get back together, but sources recently told Us Weekly that they are not dating and have a strictly platonic relationship.
"Tyler and Hannah are very much aware of the attention that's been on them recently. They think it's funny that people are so invested," an insider told the magazine.
Tyler lives in New York City but has remained in Jupiter ever since the tragic death of his mother Andrea Cameron from a brain aneurysm at age 55 earlier this month.
Hannah flew to Jupiter to be by Tyler's side during his time of need and mourning. After one week apart, Hannah returned to Tyler's hometown to wait out the coronavirus.

Hannah selected Jed Wyatt as the winner of her heart over Tyler on The Bachelorette's fifteenth season last year at the Final Rose Ceremony, but the former beauty pageant queen broke up with Jed five weeks after they got engaged because he had lied about having a girlfriend back home in Nashville during filming.
On The Bachelorette's live reunion special in late July 2019, Hannah asked Tyler out on a date, which resulted in the pair spending one night together in Los Angeles, CA, in early August.
However, nothing ever came of it because Tyler appeared to set his sights on supermodel Gigi Hadid, and then he moved away from his parents to New York City to pursue modeling.
Tyler and Gigi's romance only lasted a couple of months, and then he had a fling with Kylie Jenner's best friend Anastasia "Stassie" Karanikolaou.

Now that Tyler and Hannah are both single, The Bachelorette host Chris Harrison told Entertainment Tonight earlier this month "it wouldn't shock" him if the pair got back together again.
"I think they'd be great together, but they're probably just friends," Chris said.
An eyewitness also told Us last week the chemistry between Hannah and Tyler is still obvious even though they don't engage in any PDA or seem to be romantically involved anymore.
