However, he was careful to note that he does not mean that people should "just run back out there and start pretending that nothing has ever happened." McGraw reiterated his support of quarantine guidelines, widespread testing, protecting the high-risk portion of the population and listening to your governor.

As a result, the TV personality called for resources to help people manage if social distancing protocols continue.

"If we can get back to our lives soon, great. Let's do it responsibly and let's follow the science. And, if once we do that, we see that a spike starts to go up and we need to step back again, then that's what we'll have to do," he said. "But, if we stay locked down, we've got to help people with how to cope with depression, how to cope with loneliness, how to cope with a feeling of helplessness, how to help our children not be afraid."

As he added toward the end of his livestream, "I know that the longer we stay in quarantine, the more psychological issues and damage we have."
