Nicholson: Are you still in #despair about the world?

#Baldwin: I never have been in despair about the world. I'm enraged by it. But I don't think I'm in despair, I can't afford despair. I can't tell my nephew, my niece, you can't tell the children there's no hope!

โ€œAn emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients.โ€
