Imagine you are a healthcare worker in an intensive care ward giving supportive care for patients suffering pneumonia as a result of covid-19 infection. You have 100 patients in your facility that need respirators to survive. You have only 50.
This is what has happened in Italy as the numbers of patients spiked due to a slow response. Nurses have been seen in tears after having to decide who gets to live, over and over again.
It's important to slow the spread of the virus so as not to overwhelm the capacity of the health care system.
I think it's important to pray for those who are ill, those who are vulnerable, leaders who are making difficult decisions in every level of government and society, as well as those suffering financial and employment uncertainty (most of us).
I also think it's important to put the needs of vulnerable people before our own. Everyone can think of a few people in their community who may be directly impacted by careless choices of their neighbors. They may be parents/grandparents or people that have cancer, cystic fibrosis, heart conditions, respiratory illnesses, immunosuppression, the list goes on.
All of this really sucks at the moment, but things could be much worse if we don't slow down the rate of infection.
You’re right with this on both counts. We need to be “wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”
Blessings,

Mountain Man, I’m also in the live event industry. This is indeed a trying time. We had all of our annual spring events canceled over the last couple of weeks. Hopefully this doesn’t last long. Luckily we also do permanent AV installations, which are generally still proceeding as planned. Stay strong and let’s all be in prayer for each other, as well as those who are sick.

I keep telling my son, "Take a lesson from me and pick a profession that people will actually miss if it goes away."
