The president, our president, your president has health experts working overtime to meet the threat. The pathogen needs elbow to elbow crowds to spread itself. Our leadership, led by the president, is asking citizens to practice social distancing by limiting contact with others.This is not as easy as it sounds.
The microbes that bring disease have a pretty standard motes operandi-touching and inhaling droplets expelled by sneezing or coughing. Staying in our homes starves the predator of victims. Keeping six feet of space from people when necessity forces us to be out helps greatly. You must do what you must do.
We are social creatures but we are smart social creatures; we follow directives that go against our natural instincts so we can survive.
There has never been a better time to face this pandemic. We have computers today and we are connected to our loved ones remotely in a way that was not possible in the past. Schools can still operate in a distanced setting, we can do our banking online-powerful medicine against the virus.
Spring is just beyond the horizon. Warmer weather historically wanes the tiny attackers encroaching on us now. Listen for the birds and the emerging insects that tend the flowers.
There is a lesson here and it's not just the tenuousness of our existence. We must never again cede control of our survival to people thousands of miles away. We are smart creatures but we make mistakes. We learn from those mistakes.
Don't go political on this. Live for another day if you feel marginalized. Follow the president-that's why he is there.
