Former First Lady Michelle Obama recently caught up with comedian and daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres! She told Ellen that she was happy to have her family home and safe amid the coronavirus outbreak. Her daughters are home taking online classes since universities and colleges have shut down. While her husband and former President Barack Obama is at home with her family.

The former First Lady said, “We can do with a lot less, and I think that's an important lesson that I want my kids to understand. Be grateful for what you have and be ready to share it when the time comes, because that's really what it's all about. We’re worried, now we’re just happy that we're together and everybody is healthy and safe — who cares about the other stuff?” Obama acknowledged the hardships that many Americans are experiencing because of the pandemic, which has affected tens of thousands of people in the world. She said, “I feel for all the folks who are going to suffer because of what's going to happen to the economy and we have to be mindful about what we're going to do to support those folks when this quarantine is over.” She admitted that it’s forced her and her family to sit down with each other to have real conversations without electronics. But she remained positive, "Be grateful for what you have and be ready to share it when the time comes. Because that's really what it's all about. Now, we're just happy that we're together and everybody is healthy and safe. Who cares about the other stuff?"
