The COVID-19 pandemic has us all on edge. We’re all sheltering in place with screen time as the new normal for social support. We’re bombarded with nonstop COVID-19 news. And, we’re anxious about juggling work, school and business from home. No wonder, the world seems to be in a mental funk.
Like many of you, Francesca and I have been following the public health efforts to control the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), including hunkering down at home. Of course, similar sanctions have been put in place in many parts of the world, rallying the global community around the singular goal of stopping this global pandemic.
I find it heartwarming to see so many examples of resilience and compassion making headline news. Glass walls may separate the most vulnerable from their loved ones, but care and love are still on full display. Older folks may need to shelter in place, but neighbors are stepping up to help shop for supplies or lend a helping hand.

The less of it, many of my peers thought, the better, as more could be accomplished during the waking hours.
