00:00My fears, especially for America, is that coronavirus will merely become a blip on the radar where people learn nothing from it.
00:14My greatest hope is that we will use this time, which is arguably one of the worst periods the world has been in, in recent history,
00:25to try and transform how we do things. Let's re-look everything, the way we've been forced to re-look everything.
00:34Let's re-look work. Do people need to be in the office five days a week? I think we've realized that they don't need to be.
00:41If possible, people can work from home when they need to. It can be better for your mental health. It can be better for traffic on the roads.
00:47It can be better for parents who need to stay home and look after their kids when they're sick.
00:51It could be better for everybody in society. We realize now that it's possible. I hope that in the future, we apply these lessons.
00:59I hope that in the future, we come to realize that just like everybody who was forced to stay home or forced to leave work or forced to not participate in society,
01:11that once coronavirus is gone, there is still a subset of society that has permanent coronavirus.
01:17People don't just not have jobs because they don't want to have jobs. Most people are out of work.
01:23Most people cannot be integrated into the workforce. Most people are struggling. Most people are starving.
01:27This is happening despite coronavirus. Coronavirus just made it, I guess, a more mainstream thing.
01:32I hope that after this, we have a little more compassion and going like, oh, wow, you're unemployed?
01:37I know what it's like to be unemployed because coronavirus made me unemployed. Oh, wow, you haven't been this or you're sick or you're disabled.
01:45I understand these things a little bit more because temporarily, I experienced these same statuses.
01:50I hope that we move forward with a certain sense of compassion.
01:54One of my fears going forward, my fears, especially for America, is that coronavirus will merely become a blip on the radar where people learn nothing from it.
02:05My fear is that it'll become a politicized idea in people's minds where somehow the way so many things have in America because of social media and just the way information gets warped, it'll become another conspiracy theory.
02:19It'll become another, you know, like, oh, who did coronavirus? Who did 9-11? It just becomes a game.
02:26And my fear is that instead of looking at this as a moment in time when humanity itself was tested and people were forced to think together and move together and be together, it will actually be seen as just another point of fragmentation where people can go off in their different directions and believe whatever they want to believe.
02:45And I fear that many people will learn nothing from this experience. That's my fear.
