There’s so much pain & loss in the world right now on many fronts 
Let peace begin with each of us
That means treating others as we wish to be treated & wearing a mask to protect others
#WearingAFacemaskIsAnActOfLove
Thx for helping me share that @WBRC @FambroMedia

Love your neighbor. It’s as simple as that.
The lovely @KTamirisaMD found the most moving art piece by @teafly to express this sentiment.
My favorite #medtwitter artists @CMichaelGibson @MDNidhi & @KMallettMD create similar moving works that stir us.

5/ @LesterHoltNBC @NBCNightlyNews captured this sentiment I speak of and addresses both crises PERFECTLY:
A MOMENT TO REFLECT ON DIFFICULT TIMES:
“There's been a lot to take in this week: the death of #GeorgeFloyd along with a grim #COVID milestone testing our resilience.

It is the season of our despair. A new pandemic we can't control: coronavirus; and an old epidemic we can't control either: an aching legacy of racial inequality.
How much more can we take?

This week, we have struggled as a nation to comprehend how the most resourceful country on the planet could lose 100,000 lives to #COVID19 and how a single life could be taken out of the color of authority.

If there is comfort, it is in that we have traveled twin paths of crippling uncertainty before:
pain in the streets in a volatile 1968
and
losing 100,000 Americans to a flu pandemic that same year.

The sun eventually rose again as it always does.
But here we are, humbled by what seems so much bigger than us
and by what we know should be beneath us
—not to mention behind us.

‘A riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear?
It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years.
And it's failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met.’ —MLK

We're desperate to return to our pre-COVID days
—even as we're now reminded even then:
All was not well.

The viral video of a 12-year-old Keedron Bryant with a simple plea for his future and ours:
[SONG] My people don't want no trouble. We've had enough trouble. I just want to live. God protect me. I just want to live.”
