People are ill and without care. People are getting sick and fighting for breath. People are dying at frighteningly high rates. Many are unable to provide for their children and their families as a result of this hideous global pandemic.’

The Pirates of the Caribbean actor also spoke about conditions that people all around the world are facing. He spoke about people losing their jobs and daily income as well as of people who are unprotected on the streets. He further stated, ‘I know for the moment it feels like both of our times are tied behind our backs, and to some degree they are. But our minds are unbound and our hearts are not chained and we can care. Through caring, we will help each other and we will prevail. Caring is as close as the eye can see. It's right in front of you at all times if you just have a look.’

Johnny Depp urged his fans to stay safe during the pandemic and the COVID-19 lockdown. Towards the end of the video, he stated that people should use their time in social distancing to learn things. He spoke in the video that, ‘We must not succumb to shutting down and giving in to what feels like hellish quarantine monotony.’ He further asked his fans to be the reason why someone else is happy. He stated, ‘Today ain't coming back, so we have a responsibility to each other to approach these times with new strategies. Create something today that will benefit yourselves and others tomorrow. Do anything you think could be of use to brighten someone's day.’
