In the video Max explains that if he were to get coronavirus, he would probably be fine—but if his dad got it, it would be much more serious.
Max says, “if I give it to him, he could give it to Carl Reiner, who can give it to Dick Van Dyke. And before I know it, I've wiped out a whole generation of comic legends. When it comes to coronavirus, I have to think about who I can infect. And so should you.”
