=== Beach Safety Dilemma (02:28) ===

[00:00:00]  Well, it's a very hard question to answer.
[00:00:04]  I lament what I think has been overkill, but I'm fine.
[00:00:11]  And in life, you deal with what you're dealt, not with what you wish you were dealt.
[00:00:16]  How are you?
[00:00:18]  I'm doing great.
[00:00:19]  I'm in the comfort of my own home today, but I'm doing absolutely fantastic.
[00:00:24]  And where is your home?
[00:00:27]  I am in Pacific Palisades, a small beachside town in Los Angeles.
[00:00:33]  Nice.
[00:00:33]  Are you with your parents?
[00:00:35]  I am, yeah.
[00:00:37]  So the question is, are kids and parents getting along better these days, or are they sick of each other?
[00:00:47]  I think that's a very subjective thing right now, because currently with my family, I'm getting along just...
[00:00:54]  It's great, but I know some close friends of mine are home, stuck at home with their parents, and their parents are going insane having college-age students and high school-age students stuck in their house for 24 hours a day.
[00:01:08]  Yes, I laughed when I asked the question, but it's a serious question.
[00:01:14]  This is...
[00:01:15]  No, it really is.
[00:01:16]  People are going kind of crazy having to...
[00:01:19]  You know, deal with people they love but not necessarily want to stay around with for upwards of, you know, two weeks.
[00:01:29]  Yes, without even...
[00:01:31]  and there's nowhere to go out.
[00:01:35]  The only exception...
[00:01:38]  Yes, exactly.
[00:01:39]  The only exception I saw was in Miami Beach.
[00:01:43]  Did you see those videos?
[00:01:45]  Yeah, of the people on the beach, like it was a normal day.
[00:01:49]  Yes!
[00:01:51]  What do you say to that?
[00:01:53]  I mean, here's the thing.
[00:01:55]  I don't think everyone should be going to some level of hysteria that, you know, you should be a shut-in and not afraid to walk outside and take a walk.
[00:02:05]  But for the safety of people with compromised immune systems and people that are more elderly, I don't think that people should be...
[00:02:13]  Let's say going out and going in a big crowd, like going to a beach with hundreds or thousands of people and could potentially harm some other people that could be compromised, even if they are just a carrier there at the beach.
