As the younger Brooks explained, “If I get the coronavirus, I’ll probably be okay.”

“But if I give it to him,” he continued, pointing at his dad, “he could give it to Carl Reiner, who could give it to Dick Van Dyke, and before I know it, I’ve wiped out a whole generation of comedic legends.”

Father and son distanced themselves as the younger Brooks concluded, “Do your part. Don’t be a spreader.”
