For even the most robustly healthy among us these are the times that will try men's anyone's souls. Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet that had huge circulation in its day and is credited with encouraging the colonies to form the US. It feels like someone needs to write as powerfully and spread the word.

Keep your head down and stay healthy, and when you do come up for air, make it matter. Write a letter, send an email, make a call, and count that is the thing that you can do for the day that will contribute to making a difference. Pace yourself. I have worked out diet and supplements that help me feel better, and that includes the limit of one alcohol per day if at all. This is not the time to deploy crutches.
