Hey everybody, Trevor Noah here. So I just wanted to let you know that we at the Daily Show have decided, ah don't touch your face.

0:49.0

We at the Daily Show have decided that we're not going to be having shows next week. We won't be recording anything from the studio because we're trying to do our part to socially distance ourselves.

1:01.0

I've been reading up a lot on this. I know it's confusing. There's a different teen social distancing and quarantine and social distancing means you try and keep yourself away from people as much as possible.

1:11.0

6 to 10 feet if you have to be in public. But let's try to stay away from bars and closed restaurants. I know some people have to eat and when you're going to eat you're going to eat.

1:22.0

But let's try because the longer we stay out there, the longer coronavirus remains a threat and the longer the medical system really struggles or will struggle with the indecision.

1:36.0

I guess we have burdened with it. So stay home, stay safe, wash your hands, face time your friends and hopefully we'll see the other side of this.

2:07.0

I don't know what kind of shit you're having but calm down. People need toilet paper, people need food. If we all panic, nobody has anything and if nobody has anything, there's no more panic. It becomes a vicious cycle.

2:18.0

Be considerate of others, take what you need, leave the shop and let's act like we live in a community not just by ourselves.

2:27.0

I'll be touching base during the week. We'll be making videos here and there. I don't know how funny they'll be because I don't know how funny the world is right now but we'll see.

2:39.0

So stay tuned and hopefully this will be behind us sooner than later.
