Suddenly, Everything Matters.
I must admit I've never paid too much attention to how many seconds I take for hand-washing...to how many times a day I touch my face...to how close I sit or stand next to someone. All of a sudden, all that matters, and could literally mean life or death for someone whose health is delicate or compromised. As we sequester ourselves in the hope of "flattening the curve" and helping to stem the tide of COVID-19, let's be mindful of "what matters". 1. Many people will not have the "luxury" of sequestering themselves until the siege is over. They will go to their daily work in clinics, pharmacies, hospitals, firehouses, police cars, sanitation trucks, and utility companies. They'll be there to sell us needed supplies, to tend to electrical and plumbing problems, to staff the offices of "essential services", and so on. They will risk their own health to be of service to others...
