During the live interview, Surgeon General Adams was asked when we can realistically return to work and he explained that it really depends on the people of the communities: “Do everything in your communities to be more like communities in South Korea and China and not like Italy.”
He shared that “preparedness doesn’t mean panic,” and stressed how important the message of social distancing is across every generation and explained why he went to celebrity influencer Kylie Jenner to help share the seriousness of the virus with her followers and fans. “She told millennials and Generation Z people to stay at home..because they don’t listen to me..my kids could care less that I’m the Surgeon General, but if Kylie Jenner tells them to do something they’re more likely to do it.”
