The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Asher Weiss’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

yesterday was in this coming shabbos we read the painful of toil in these are days of mourning days of profound sadness but when not you see just by mourning action is demanded we need to do more action is demanded we need to do more than mourn we need to rectify we need to do true but we need to be better and in the same way we are in the midst of a terrible pandemic numbers are rising in earth's islam a few weeks ago we were so calm and we felt the pain of our brethren in new york and in london tables have reversed they have quiet and we are very concerned and we are very concerned day-to-day there are thousands of new cases we have more debts than we had a month ago more very ill patients more patients and ventilators and we're concerned for the past four months i've been darshaning and demanding and pleading and begging to follow the rules and i do it once again rules and i do it once again you must wear masks you must keep social distancing you must be macbet in hygiene you must it's be quite mesh and if you have symptoms you must test i know that many people didn't go test because they felt it's too much of a sacrifice to sit two weeks in quarantine and then wait till you have two different tests and you come out negative twice so bor hashem the system was streamlined
