Things are changing so fast, reporters can't keep up. We can only report so much, so quickly. A week ago I warned my family not to fly anywhere--they were all planning to head out West to spend Pesach together. I told them by this week we would not be able to fly. I was right.
During the #AIDS pandemic, I spent a lot of time talking to infectious disease specialists, including Tony Fauci. Later, it was Hot Zones. I met Laurie Garret, Michael Osterholm. I wrote stories about diseases appearing out of nowhere. I had hoped we would never be here. We are.
Our lives won't be the same after this. We need to recognize that. Try to adjust. Try to remain calm as we rethink how to live through the next year in which everything will be forever changed. It will be the hardest part. But we have to do it. That will be the way we survive. 🌿
