[AtheistEve]

Time to get lectures from all the introvert TED speakers.

[mohidkhan]

It's a nice addition that he isn't speaking on a stage in front of a live audience like usual

[YoavMilikow]

I think this is the only TED I have seen where it appears the guy did it from home!

[nagibalamin]

By staying home, watch netflix and eating patato chips :)

All they had to do was take it seriously from beginning, and quarantine everyone, (including flight crew) from China and Italy, for two weeks

By doing Ted Talks from your house, I guess?

Bill Gates saw this coming a little over 4 years ago...

[ossen]

It will be a challenge, but we will pull through this - we always have

[AnubhavChandrakarIITB]

For everyone wandering off why he did his TED Talk in a room rather than in front of crowd, he did so to avoid large gatherings which are major cause of spread of Corona Virus....

It's sad that there are people out there who are saving lives and creating cures, whom we don't even know the names of or acknowledge, yet we care to acknowledge and know the names of celebrities and instagram "influencers" whom 99% of them don't do anything that'll save or impact lives. Events like this show us who we really should appreciate and acknowledge.

We control it by not "DECEIVING"the masses. We control it by telling the "TRUTH"

[jopeDE]

What is ment by social distance is that you rly take it serious!!! So no joking around but rly not touching each other. Even your best friends!

[josepmercadal]

Obviously, these video was publicated two weeks ago and now, the situation is worst. When Adam says that we have to reduce our social interaction he's talking about not going to parks, or public places, like we are seeing these confinement days. This virus can be worst, but if we work together we will destroy it. This confinement situation is around the world and all people are having a bad time, and we have to be serious and smart to control the situation.

[matejhrusovsky]

how do i bring down 0 social interaction by two thirds?

[sheri]

Reducing the economic burden can be helped by rich folks donating some of aaallll that hoarded money

[joyjoyoo]

Can you talk about UK's herd immunity theory? What the eff is Boris thinking ?

[quimferrer]

Reducing social interaction is the best thing we can do, as there would not be so many broadcasts.
It is a complicated situation, because the cases are increasing day by day. That is why in many countries they are quarantined.
We can do the work from home and there is no problem.
Nurses and doctors have a great job and we hope this all calms down so we can return to “normal”.

[lil----lil]

Option One: Two months of extreme painful quarantine.
Option Two: What we have right now.

[joshweickum]

The answer to that is easy. don't close an office specifically dedicated to prevent such a thing just because you're spiteful against someone you're jealous of.

About the second question, I totally agree because if the confinement doesn't works, we will have to find another more demanding alternative. I also think that we have to less the levels of social interection, it will be very similar to the confinement that we do, but more stringent, we will have to stay at home all the day and things like go to the supermarket or go to the work they can't be done. About the education, they will be look to other actions like virtual classes, videos that explain the lessons... And about the free time we will find another activities to do from home because the activities that we did before we can't do them anymore.
