On Saturday night, President Russell M. Nelson posted a 3-minute video of comfort and hope amid the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak. He encouraged members to take care of themselves and to carefully minister to those in need.
In the message, he acknowledges that the worldwide Church faces a unique challenge due to the virus, but that the gospel of Jesus Christ provides him with optimism for the future.
Sunday afternoon, the video was the top trending video on YouTube. By Sunday night, it had nearly 3 million views across several platforms.

Thank you for making this available. I seem to need extra encouragement. I have watched this many times and felt the Gift of the Holy Ghost as the Prophet speaks. I am so grateful to have his counsel and feel his words of encouragement. Thank you for putting this out for us to see again.
