Heather Cox Richardson:
This pandemic, and the accompanying economic downturn, are a turning point. Just as Americans have done in other crises in our history, we are rediscovering that our greatest strength is not in how rich and powerful we can make a few, but rather in all of us, working together.
I point this out, because I noticed this a few days ago, a LOT of voluntary closing of places that could cause problems later on, if not now. A realization that if we wait for Big Government to do anything, it could be a very long wait indeed. It occurred to me then that we were doing exactly what should be done, without asking for help that might not come for months. We may make it, after all.

It does get a bit strange.
Keep well, don't inhale.
I believe there must be people wearing gloves and their masks at their computers

DeleteI think that could be considered "embracing the fantasy if not the reality..."
Strange times we're living in. I'd not have missed it for the world.
