CORONAVIRUS: “Look, when you shut down [for coronavirus], you have other problems. You have depression, you have alcohol, you have drugs, you have a family squabbles, to put it nicely. You have a lot of bad things happen. So it’s not like, oh, let’s do a shutdown. Shutdowns cause, I think probably, or possibly, much bigger problems than even the virus itself. Especially at this stage.”
