Schwarzenegger continued by expressing that he wants more people to serve as role models for others in dealing with the pandemic’s conditions.

‘We need to prove to ourselves and the world that we can work together to beat a shared enemy, because, believe me, the coronavirus is not the largest issue we will face this century,’ he wrote.
