He clarifies that these are people he still loves and trusts, but warns people not to make the same mistake. He encourages people to take further measures when reuniting with the people they love, such as having them get tested before visiting. Along with this, he emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle to boost the immune system.
He finishes his video by discussing the debate on masks. He magnifies how this is not a political topic, but one on trying to be a better human being. Finally, he thanks the doctors, nurses, and everyone in the front lines who are risking their lives trying to save ours.
