نخستین 200 خط.
What started off as an unknown virus in Wuhan, China
has exploded into a worldwide pandemic.
Until recently, most people had never heard of COVID-19,
otherwise known as coronavirus.
As the death toll continues to rise around the world,
governments have taken extreme measures
in countries like Italy,
where a mandatory closing of all business has taken place.
People around the world have been ordered to stay home.
In country after country,
travel restrictions have been put in place.
Events with large gatherings have been canceled.
Self-quarantine,
stock market plunges,
medical professionals trying to make sense of it all
as they work to find a vaccine.
And as this modern-day plague continues across the globe,
one question is on everyone's mind:
can anyone find a way to stop this?
Oh man.
So glad to get home.
Hey, don't.
Oh my gosh, you know how great it is to be home?
Yeah, good...
We needed a vacation from a vacation.
You had a good time though, didn't you babe?
Of course!
You know what, we always have good anniversary vacations.
They're always fun!
Well here's to 30 more.
Hey.
Hey babe, would you like something to drink?
Yeah, some water would be great!
All right, coming up!
You know, I was gonna ask ya,
do you think we could get a couple
of those pictures from the ocean
and get 'em blown up into maybe eight by 10s?
For my dad, I just think he'd enjoy looking at the ocean.
You know he sits in that room all day.
He does, I think it's a great idea.
You know what, it's been a while
since we've seen the grandkids.
Yeah.
And I need to go see my father tomorrow.
Well, let's go pick them up on the way over there.
- Let's do that. - You know how much
Sarah would love to see Max.
You wanna do it?
- Yes! - Come on.
- Let's do it baby. - Awesome.
How are we doing today Max?
Anxious to see the family.
Especially the girls.
I see.
Well, you go ahead and make sure you take these, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't see the point, really, Katie.
I'm not gonna live that much longer anyway.
Oh stop, a negative attitude never helped anybody.
I'm sure the girls will cheer you up.
I'll check back up on you later, okay.
Okay.
Papa!
Hey, Allie, Sarah!
How are my two little sweeties?
Hey Dad, how are you?
How are you doing today Dad?
I'm doing better now.
Came by to check on your inheritance, have you?
Positive as always.
Hey listen, we brought you back
a gift from our trip!
You didn't bring me another great grandchild?
No, no!
It's a watch Dad.
Oh!
Look.
It's a Swiss watch from Europe.
Will it tell me how much time I've got left?
You know, the real gift of life is these two.
How would both of you
like to go out and feed the ducks?
Yay!
You think you really should be going out Dad?
Oh cocky poo, I'll be dead tomorrow anyway.
Oh Dad.
We have to go.
We're meeting James and Naomi for lunch.
We just wanted to stop by, give you the watch
and let the girls say hello.
Pizza grandpa?
Can we feed the ducks pizza?
I don't think that's...
You can feed those ducks anything you want sweetie!
We have to go now Dad, I'll talk to you later.
Bye Papa.
- Love you Papa! - Bye sweetheart.
I love you too baby.
- Let's go. - See ya.
- Bye Dad. - Bye!
Love you.
- Bye. - Bye, love you!
Grandma and grandpa took us to see Papa.
Oh, did you two have fun?
And Papa said we could feed the ducks some pizza.
That old man will let Sarah and Allie
do anything they want.
Good evening everyone, Bruce?
Tony.
James.
How are ya?
It's good to see you James, it's been a long time.
Yes it has.
Does that mean Bruce is gonna pay the bill?
Could be Tony.
Could be.
Well thank you for coming in.
Appreciate seeing everybody, have a good night.
- Thank you. - You too.
- Bye. - Bye.
So how's Pop doing Dad?
Nothing's changed.
He still thinks I'm after (COUGHS),
after his money.
Honey, are you all right?
Here, drink some water.
I hope it's not that crap virus.
What's that James, the coronavirus?
Yes.
I have a better chance of winning the lottery.
Dad, you need to take this seriously!
You and Mom did just get back from Europe.
You know things are worse over there than they are here.
I'm not sick Naomi.
Let me check and see how you're doing honey.
- I said I'm okay! - Okay!
As a matter of fact, I'm ready to go!
I need to get back to work tomorrow.
- Dad. - Ooh, touchy.
You think I'm touchy?
I am touchy!
Because I just lost a major account this week
due to this flu panic!
It's not panic to be cautious.
It is panic!
People are losing their minds!
Look at social media.
All the naysayers and do-sayers and dumb asses!
They're going crazy on there.
Dad...
The place is a panic!
You have all the conspiracy theorists
and all the downers and uppers and everything else,
it's panic!
A million people die every year
from accidents, but nobody shuts down the freeways!
This is different!
It is?
Because 50,000 people die a year from the flu!
And I don't see the world economy
shutting down because of the flu!
It's not the same thing!
How do you know?
How do you know?
Because I think I know the difference
between the flu and a plague!
Please!
The kids?
I'm sorry babies.
I had a hard day at work.
It's okay grandpa.
Can I help too grandpa?
No baby, not this time.
But thank you so much.
I'm out of here.
I'm sorry guys.
Naomi, I'll give you a call tomorrow, okay.
- Okay Mom, be safe. - I love you.
- See you tomorrow! - Tell grandpa I love him.
- Love you. - Same!
- Bye. - Bye.
He is becoming more like Papa every day.
Man, it's good to be back.
Dave, what's up?
Welcome back!
You got a minute?
Absolutely, come on in, have a seat.
You okay buddy?
Oh yeah, I'm great.
What's on your mind?
How was your trip?
Ah, Laura and I had a fantastic time.
Man, I saw places I never thought I'd see!
And you know, I think you'd love the
beer in Europe because it's not even close
to watered down like here in the states.
You're not,
you're not here to talk about my vacation are you?
Well, I'm happy you had a nice time, but...
