Present continuous

Trevor Noah here, officially social distancing.

Past simple

The President just held a press conference saying that

the White House has changed its recommendation that we limit

our exposure to no more than 10 people at a time.

It looked to me like Trump is taking this

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,

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.

Everything, cinemas, comedy clubs, Broadway.

I was thinking, it would be cool if Broadway

could also do delivery, that would be nice.

Like if Lin Manuel could send someone to your house

to perform, like just a 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"?

But yeah, everything's shut down, and I know some people

are saying this is extreme, we shouldn't be doing this,

Yep, because we're trying to make sure that the coronavirus

does not completely debilitate our healthcare 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

Could be a family member, it could be somebody

with a weak immune system, it could be your grandmother,

It doesn't matter, it's still human beings,

and we could be doing our part to try and minimize

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.

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 can, and for those of us

who are in a position of power like a boss

let your employees work from home, you know, because I think

us surviving is more important than us meeting deadlines.

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,

when anyone will give you that advice, so.

And maybe it's time to connect, you know?

You can still be neighborly, if there are old people

If you live in a neighborhood where there's old people

who can't get somebody, or can't get somewhere,

so they don't need to put themselves at risk.

People are, they're singing from the balconies.

You see the images of people playing music together,

I saw two guys playing tennis, that was pretty dope.

Try and remember that you're a human being,

And scientists are saying it, health experts are saying it,
