I started seeing some good news about the health crisis yesterday.
Just a glimmer
But “reality-based” means noticing the good along with the bad.
It looks like physical distancing is working
(I don’t say social distancing or isolating because we are not distancing socially, and we are doing everything we can to help each other not to isolate)
Fevers going down – Kinsa “US Health Weather Map”
Which means if we stay diligent with physical distancing infections will go down.
And not just for Covid-19
This means we are just now beginning to enter phase 1 of the response
Not the end, or the beginning of the end, but maybe the end of the beginning.

So the bad news
fevers are a leading indicator
So infections (because of testing) and hospitalizations and deaths will still go up for several more weeks.
Relaxing physical distancing will require widespread testing and contact testing
(maybe this summer?)
And return to “normal” will require herd immunity
Vaccine
Acquired immunity from folks who were sick and recovered.
(maybe spring 2021?)

Not my place to make predictions

But I was thinking about physical distancing
and how it works because we all agreed to do it.
Some voluntarily and some under social pressure

We were able to make a big change
Because we were all motivated to change together

I saw this also in the church’s move over the last two weeks to virtual church.
We were able to make a big change
Because we were all motivated to change together
Leaders had to figure out how to make the virtual church
We all had to figure out how to access virtual church.
And we still have work to do to help those who are struggling
We all had to do our part
Stay involved
Support the change

The power of a motivated community working together
Is amazing

So that makes me think about big social shifts we might want to make or need to make
Climate change
Immigration
Health care
Remaking the economy

Again, not my place to make prediction
Something to think about.

See you tomorrow at 1pm
