This. I don’t think people everyone need to stay home to the degree we were before but if could just focus on acts of solidarity it would be a huge step forward

Beating this will be on state and local governments to a degree but even more on individuals to be safe, responsible and smart

“KP George, the chief elected official in Fort Bend County, Texas, near Houston, where hospitals are moving to expand capacity and the testing system is overburdened, urged people to stay home as much as possible.

“Please read the recommendations not as infringement upon personal liberty,” Mr. George said, “but as acts of solidarity that will protect the livelihoods of your loved ones, neighbors and the local health professionals who endeavor each day to care for us.””—nytimes today
