I've also felt very encouraged by this. To see my own town almost completely shut down before any legal order even required it shows me that people will still voluntarily make sacrifices for the benefit of the whole. Everyone I know is doing their part. And beyond that to see the scientific community come together, to see that even with the blunders there is real cooperation between the various states and the federal government (I'm in the U.S.---we have gigantic hospital ships in the ports of two of our largest cities right now, federal troops mobilized, hundreds of billions of dollars authorized, and that's just part of what the federal government is doing), to see that individuals, corporations, research institutions, universities, foundations, etc., are all stepping in to fill the gaps, the ingenuity of people finding ways around resource limitations, debunking myths, providing encouragement and guidance and hope in a challenging time... and to have something as simple as a virus so powerfully remind us that we're all in this together, yes we could do much better, but I've been heartened by all of it.
