As the COVID-19 pandemic crashes into American society, I would urge everyone to assume the mantel of responsibility — unlike the man who purports to lead the country — and do what you can to help. That may be what appears to you to be small, insignificant and maybe even potentially useless, but believe me, in these times no action — however small — that lessens the burden on others (and by extension society in general) is useless or unappreciated.
My wife and I have taken the position that, for as long as we can, we will pay our house cleaners even though we have canceled the house cleaning. We will pay the hairstylists who cut our hair even though we cancel the appointments. We call up our elderly neighbors (they voted for Trump, by the way) and see if they need anything from the store so we can save them the risk of going out and exposing themselves to potential death (he is approaching 90, she is over 90 years of age). In essence, we are doing what we can. This is in addition to the fact that my wife, a healthcare professional, is on the front lines. I must do everything possible to keep her healthy which by necessity includes keeping me healthy. Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, distancing when in public, not touching my face and all the other things to minimize possible exposure are always in the forefront of my mind. Recognizing the burden the current situation is to the staff, she and all the docs in her practice have taken 50% salary cuts so that they can continue to pay the staff. You do what you can.
We are, truly, all in this together: the MAGA nuts, the libs, the conservatives, the NeverTrumpers, the rich, the poor, the advantaged, the disadvantaged, the legal immigrant, the illegal immigrant, the highest and the lowest and all manner of people in between. This virus doesn't care who you are: if you are a warm body, it wants you. Protect yourself, your family, your community, your nation and your world by looking out for each other. Do what you can. It will be appreciated and it will, in some small degree, lessen — and shorten — the ugliness that we face.
