Morgana, that's a great idea. I'm going to do some writing myself and watch less TV.

Lynn, I think you're right about #1. I just wish the US Congress could read your list.

And thank you, both for thinking about this and for posting it.

I'm trying to keep my news feeds to the minimum right now. There are some who are using this crisis to hammer home their opinions and clobber their opponents. I think it will backfire on them before too much longer - we do have a national election coming up this November.

dcarson, I had not heard about the pollution reduction saving that many lives in China, but it makes sense. I probably hadn't heard because of my self-limiting news input. Even in good times, it tends to depress and irritate me. I find that as I get older, I have less tolerance for stupid.

Thanks, y'all. It's good to hear from all of you and know you're coping. Stay healthy!
