#LoveInTheTimeOfCoronavirus

THREAD
1/ As I drove to my parents' home yesterday - trunk full of disinfectant, hand sanitizer, thermometer, nutritious meals for their freezer - I couldn't stop thinking about how our definition of "acts of love" needs to change during this crisis.
2/ I pulled into their driveway, sanitized my hands, and took the supplies as far as their back door. Their faces fell when I told them I wasn't coming in. I suggested we sit on the back deck, my chair a good distance from theirs. I told them we needed to talk about the pandemic.
3/ I asked them what they were doing to protect themselves. "Everything we can." When I probed what that meant, it was clear they were not implementing most of the basic steps, let alone exercising the vigilance required for those in their 70s & 80s.
