Description
Councilmember Isaiah Thomas (At Large) speaks to NBC !0 about partnering with Temple Men's Coach Aaron McKie for a PSA on the importance of social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
B
That's
a
local
basketball,
legend
Aaron
McKie,
just
one
of
the
well-known
people
who
are
appearing
in
videos
on
social
media
that
are
really
aimed
at
getting
the
word
out
to
hard-to-reach
communities
and
joining
us
this
morning
is
Philadelphia,
City,
Council,
member
Isaiah,
Thomas
and
he's
here
to
talk
more
about
this
campaign.
So
councilman
welcome
and
thank
you
for
joining
us
and
I'll
start
with
this
question.
A
Most
the
morning
and
thank
you
for
having
me
an
important
thank
you
to
all
my
colleagues
in
City
Council,
who
thought
it
was
important
that
we
do
our
part
specifically
spread
the
word
in
order
to
help
stop
the
spread.
We
feel
like
when
you
just
look
at
basic
human
growth
and
development,
a
lot
of
young
people
who
are
essentially
at
the
theater
they're
like
where
do
you
know
they
feel
like
they're,
a
little
invincible
which
is
normal
as
you
transition
from
childhood
to
adulthood.
A
They
feel
like
that
bar
that
really
won't
impact
in
the
way
it
has
the
potential
to
impact
other
people,
and
so
our
goal,
as
long
as
the
City
Council
is
to
do
our
due
diligence
to
do
our
best
to
make
sure
they
sit
through
the
all
cross
city
of
Philadelphia.
Understand
that
this
is
real,
the
bars
doesn't
discriminate
and
that
we
all
need
to
do
our
part
to
stop
the
spread.
Now.
B
I
just
have
to
ask
you
a
little
bit
more
specifically.
So
what
did
you
see
around
Philadelphia?
What
did
you
hear
that
made?
You
start
this
campaign?
Was
it
that
young
people
specifically
since
you
just
mentioned
them
weren't,
covering
their
faces
or
were
they
hanging
out
with
their
friends,
not
keeping
up
with
social
distancing?
What
exactly
did
you
see
so.
A
A
We
also
seen
that
there
were
a
significant
number
of
people
that
were
still
looking
together
and
convenient,
and
so
our
goal
essentially
was
to
try
to
penetrate
that
demographic
I
can
assure
that
our
message
is
lenient
and
everybody's
living
room
and
we
wanted
to
do
but
have
some
credible
messengers
who
are
encouraging
young
people
with
encouraging
people
all
across
the
city
of
Philadelphia
state
homes.
They
save
practice
social
fitness
and
if
they
do
leave
out
and
do
their
part
to
stop
the
spread.
A
B
A
Towards
now
our
goal
is
a
city
where
people
don't
understand
it.
The
coronavirus
is
something
that
their
theories,
it's
something
that
we
all
need
to
take
seriously
in
every
neighborhood.
When
you
do
meet
the
house
dude,
when
you
do
need
to
leave
the
house,
please
only
people
in
the
potential
reason
otherwise
keep
their
home.
Please
stay
safe,
wash
your
hands
as
often
as
possible
and
remember
that
this
is
a
virus
that
does
not
discriminate
all.
