This is a time of social distancing, which goes against our natural inclination to be close to those we care for.

We are likely to move into a hybrid world of education, rather than reverting back to what we had before.
We'll think deeply about the value of being in-person. While we've managed to make our way with some tech, there is a need for human connection.

From @DrJWardRobinson, we must talk about the ethics of the situation. We must talk about the underlying inequities in health, housing, and education that have left many communities of color in a more vulnerable state. We are talking about lives.

Dr. de la Rey raises the profile of the other frontline workers who are working to deliver produce, to keep grocery stores and other essential services working. We're seeing groups of people who often do not get credit finally being attended to.
