The “CBS This Morning” host understands the social distancing guidelines are in place to help save lives but says the situation is “difficult” because there’s “no end in sight.”
She said: “I’m not complaining about this because I do think this is how it has to be, but there’s no end in sight. Whenever there’s been a disaster, you sort of know, ‘OK, first you do this, then you do that, and then you start the rebuilding and da da da.’… You can’t even think about a rebuilding at this particular time. So that is difficult. That is difficult.”
King also acknowledged those who are “going through so much more” than she is.
She said: “I’m healthy, knock on wood, the people I care about are healthy, knock on wood. So I really have nothing to complain about. But I, like everybody, will be glad when this is over. This is scary. It’s an equal opportunity heartbreaker. That’s what this is.
“I see it as a possibility, as a chance for a major reset for humanity and planet. I really do believe this. I would like to think that something good is gonna come out of all of this pain. I don’t know what it is. I don’t know how it is or where it is, but I can’t believe it’s just gonna be this, this bleak and this dark. I refuse to believe that.”
