00:01Hey, what's up guys? So look, this morning I got some test results back for coronavirus
00:09and it came back positive. Yeah, and it sucks. Listen, I'm doing okay. Sabrina hasn't been
00:19tested and she's doing okay. I didn't have any symptoms. I got tested because I realized
00:28I was exposed to someone who had also tested positive. I found out last Friday that they
00:36were tested positive. I quarantined myself and got a test immediately and got the results
00:42back today. Look, this is serious. Now's the time to really think about social distancing,
00:50washing your hands. Beyond that, there are people out there who aren't showing symptoms
00:58and that can easily spread it. Okay. So now's a real time to be really vigilant about washing
01:05your hands and keeping your distance. Okay. Um, we've told our families, um, they're very
01:14supportive. We've told our colleagues, um, and you know, transparency is probably the best
01:22thing for this right now. If you're feeling ill or you feel like you should be tested or
01:26you've been exposed and do something about it. All right. It's really important. Look,
01:32we live in a divided world right now. We can all feel it. It's been bullshit, but now's
01:38the time for solidarity. Now's the time for thinking about each other. There's so many
01:42people whose lives have been affected from those who have lost people that they love to
01:47people that don't even have it and lost their livelihoods. This is real. All right. Um,
01:54I just wanted to share my news with you guys and I will keep you updated as how I'm doing.
02:01Um, but so far we're feeling okay. All right, man, stay positive and don't freak out.
02:07Um, but so much for thinking about the people interaction. This is how I have been saying.
