Ann talks about the irony of self-isolation: by definition, a thing we must go through alone but with millions doing it simultaneously, it's a thing we are going through alone, together.

And so long as those links stay connected, we can become a very strong chain that can support and strengthen every other link on the chain. 

And just like that the world changed overnight and we learned a new phrase: self-isolation.

We are all links.
