I'm Seth Done of CBS News, listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17th. What's going on everybody? Trevor Noah here. Officially social distancing. The president just held a press

conference saying that the White House has changed this recommendation that we limit our exposure to no more than 10 people at a time. It looked to me like Trump is taking this more seriously than he ever has. If Trump is worried, then we should be taking this seriously. The good news is we can do something about it. We should be taking this seriously. The good news is we can do something about it. We can minimize the spread of coronavirus. Cities like New York have begun to shut everything down.

Restaurants are closed. You can order food and you can pick up food in New York but you can't go to the restaurant. Remember to order, it supports't go to the restaurant. Remember to order it supports people who work at the restaurants, it supports the people who deliver the food, tip them well, please, they're bringing you your food, they're basically the lifeblood of a city. And yeah everything else in New York is basically going to be shut down. Everything, cinemas, you know, comedy clubs, Broadway.

I was thinking it'll be cool if Broadway could also do delivery, that would be nice. Like if Lynn Manuel could send someone to your house to perform like a, just a little bit of Hamilton. You just order it on the app and they come little bit of Hamilton. You know you just order it on the app and they come. It's like, hi, you ordered the room where it happens? Oh yes, thank you. The room where it happens. Room where it happens. Thank you very much. But yeah, everything's shut down and I know some people are saying this is extreme. We shouldn't be doing this. Why are we shutting everything down? Yep. Because we're trying to make sure that the coronavirus does not completely debilitate our health care systems. It seems extreme because

coronavirus is extreme and if we don't take it seriously we can pay the price. It might not be you, it might not be somebody directly linked to you, but it could be. It could be a family member, it could be somebody with a, you you know a weak immune system. It could be your grandmother, your grandfather, your uncle, your aunt. It doesn't matter. It's still human beings and we could be doing our part to try and minimize their chances of getting coronavirus. Because anyone could get it. Idris Elba has coronavirus and luckily he's not showing symptoms, he's still healthy. He's still one of the best looking men on the planet, so luckily coronavirus didn't take that away from him.

But it shows that it can affect anybody. So let's play our part. All you've got to do is stay home. Stay home as much as you can. If you can't because of work or you have to, I can't force you and I won't force you, but for those of us who are in a position position, the position, the position, to position, the position, to position, the position, to position, the position, th, to position, to position, the position, the position, to position, the position, th, th, th, th, to to to to to to tho, tho, tho, tho, to thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the the the th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, thoooooooooooooooooooooooooo, toe, toe, toe, thoo, tho,, but for those of us who can and for those of us who are in a position of power like a boss or somebody like that, if you can, let your employees work from home, you know, because I think us surviving is more important than us meeting deadlines. So let's stay home.

And for those people who are like, oh, I can't stay home, I'm going crazy and I need human contact, yeah, we spend most of our time on our phones anyway. So let's just do more of that. Spend more time looking at your phone, being on social media and watching TV. You'll never, there's no other time in history when anyone will give you that advice. So, yeah, now's the time to do that. And maybe it's time to connect, you know, connect with yourself. Connect with people you live around.

You can still be neighborly if there are old people in your building who need help, reach out to them, help them. If you live in a neighborhood where there's old people who can't get somebody or can't get somewhere. Help them to get what they need so they don't need to put themselves at risk. Italy's a great example. I mean you've seen the videos people are they're singing from the balconies. You see the images of people playing music together like a like an impromptu band. I saw two guys playing tennis. It was pretty dope. So yeah, try and do that. Try and remember that you're a human being existing with other human beings. And we're all fighting against something together for a change.

And scientists are saying it, health experts are saying it, even the White House has now said it, 15 days can make a huge difference. This could determine the trajectory of the rest of the journey that we're taking, known as coronavirus. So just try for 15 days to stay inside as much as you can. You could be saving somebody's life. So yeah, we'll go a little bit crazy together and then we'll come out on the other side. I'll catch up with you guys later.
