A video was just produced with the "Minister of Culture," Matthew McConaughey speaking to Austin and students of UT.

He is right..it's reality time so each and everyone needs to deal with it! Sorry we have to grow up sooner and accept responsibility for our actions, but it's what the world expects in this difficult time. You can be a carrier of COVID-19 and exhibit no symptoms and infect others. Wash Your Hands!

It's so important to stay home and as Matthew quoted:

"Today's containment will be tomorrows congregation!"

It does feel very unfair for young people. I feel particularly bad for high school seniors who aren't going to prom and walking and getting their diploma on schedule. But as he stated, there has been a burden placed on them to grow up and do the right thing. Adults should head his advice as well.

I totally agree with Matthew. What we sacrifice now in maintaining a few inconveniences can and will save lives.

We need EVERYONE to cooperate, don't we? We need to make this short term sacrifice (which seems long) for the long term benefits. Stay well, Dorie!

alright alright alright. He's one of my favorite actors. This social distancing is driving me nuts. I'll be happy when I can have the antibody test that shows I've had it (or if I haven't) and I can know how to proceed. I'm missing people a lot. Currently worried my little grandson has it.

I know this social distancing is a pain..I miss my grandchildren but at this time it's important we stay at home. So much they are finding out about how it can spread. Hope your grandson is okay keep us posted.

Matthew cares deeply about Austin and our culture. The students at UT love his classes and you will see hhe and his family around Austin but not at this time.

Morning Dorie.

So I take it Matthew is a Texas fan? I could be mistaken,but that's what I got. Anyway, he did have a powerful message.

Hi Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR - we are staying at home and have deliveries. Last night a 7pm everyone was supposed to open their windows and clap for those who are out there like first responders and food providers.

My son has sent us a video looking out his window in NYC with lots of clapping and cheering. I guess it is the same thing that Grant Schneider is talking about

It seems to me that it is so simple to stay safe and still live a life - as long as we are respectful of each other - WASH YOUR HANDS, STAY 6 FEET AWAY and WEAR A MASK!!

Dorie we all need to do what we can to keep safe and keep others safe, but in my opinion it needs to be balanced and use of common sense. Extremes only create other problems, and many times bigger problems than the one we are trying to solve.
