Sir Patrick Stewart: Jean-Luc Picard Would Have Responded to COVID-19 Far More Effectively than Trump or Johnson

In an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) show The Current, actor Sir Patrick Stewart talked with host Tom Power at length among many things, including how the titular character of his hit CBS All Access Show Star Trek: Picard would have handled the current Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic. Stewart said: “I think that Picard would not have hesitated in finding, if not solutions, at least ways of minimizing the risk and the danger to individuals.”
He also spoke about the origins of his sonnet a day while in quarantine, saying they were his wife’s idea and have since become a huge social media phenomena.
