Values of fairness, kindness, accountability, resilience, respect, courage… if we practice those things right now, when we get out of this, this virus, this time might be the one time that brings us all together and unifies us like we have not been in a long time.” Has your favorite celebrity posted a video on social media about the importance of staying home to combat COVID-19?
