Social distancing/physical distancing/safe-at-home/lock down/whatever you wish to call it is a strategy to create time to get other efforts in place (testing, hospital preparedness, etc.) in a fast-moving outbreak. 

It's been made a necessity by a slow to acknowledge, disjointed early response and a lack of the ramping up of necessary resources by the president and by the Republican Senate.

Stay at home if you can.
Limit contact when you are out.
Don't bash "both sides."
Vote blue.

This is how intelligent leaders lead. They find the best people and let them do their jobs.

Emily Landon, the chief infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Chicago Medicine, did her job and Governor Pritzker stayed out of her way.

Trump’s narcissism and ego have brought us here. He convinced himself he knows more than the generals, more than the economists, more than the epidemiologists. 

Trump was so focused on propping up his shaky economy that everything else was secondary.

U.S. intelligence reports from January and February warned about a likely pandemic:

The entire media needs to band together in the interest of human life and stop covering them.

Trump needs to stop the daily press briefings:

"These have not been White House press conferences; they are three-ring circuses with Trump as the deranged ringmaster."

Good day.

This is a time of uncertainty for everyone and I know that can be discomforting and difficult to navigate.

One thing we can do is stay focused on what the goal has been day from one: electing Democrats down the ballot and getting Trump out of office.

Now is a great time for us all to be digital organizers. We can't underestimate the impact that connecting with each other has.
