21 Comments on How we can navigate the pandemic with courage and hope | Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks

  1. Look how rich all these people are at the expense of our labor. They’re all in bed with each other. Follow the money folks it never lies

    • 4 billion people not working because of 25 thousand deaths world wide. Ultra mega depression killing billions of people incoming. Enough food and resources for that not to happen. But not enough money. So we all die. The rich take it all, make a global digital currency and the new world order has arrived. People will say it’s temporary and everything will be fine. Retards.

  2. Sometimes when you are in a dark place
    You think you’ve been buried
    But actually you’ve been planted
    We all need to stay hopeful
    And pray for all humanity

  3. When I heard the water droplet sound effect in the intro, I immediately thought:
    WATER BREATHING
    12th Form
    Corona Immunity

  4. Hey TED: thank you for all the amazing talks you publish. I just want to highlight research by Dr Rath, (The Rath Foundation) and his work on micronutrients and wellness. He also has good evidence for high dose vitamin C and the role it plays in fighting bacterial and viral attack.
    I am a recently retired nurse and student naturopath and have good anecdotal evidence on the effectiveness foods in fixing arthritis, eczema, asthma and psoriasis. In relation to the Covid 19 issue I believe I had it in January, but have not been tested. I care for my Mum who is 90 and has lived with me since 1995, my husband has COPD from smoking for 40 years before he met me, and I have just purchased a nebuliser for his home use.

  5. At least from this pandemic, we can learn onething that “The healthcare of Worldwide isn’t as good as we see”.
    I hope Every President take and learn it as a best experience for the future.
