Attending the conference sends a strong message that we are selfish and don't care about anyone but ourselves.
We have a duty to social distance now - for our elderly, for your healthcare providers, for every neighbor who may need a hospital bed. Doing your part to slow the spread is showing love and respect to us all. A key reason to social distance now is to flatten out the peak of the pandemic. If we all get sick at the same time, many more die. Italy shows nearly 50 percent of cases needing hospitalization. We have to slow this down enough to allow any that get it to have a decent shot at a hospital bed and care. Not just that! We must slow it down so that any of our neighbors with ANY ailment has a hospital bed available. Those other ailments don't stop just because of this pandemic. The longer we can slow the spread, the more we learn about what works against it. It's more time to get drugs and treatments. More time to potential develope a vaccine. This may become an endemic and we are not going to isolate forever. There may be a time when we all go out, but bow instead of shaking hands. Maybe wearing masks or gloves. We will find a way to be the free, fearless people we want to be. But first we must slow the exponential growth, support our healthcare providers by giving them less patients at once, support our neighbors when they have milder cases at home, and respect one another by doing our part to avoid spreading this virus. Please consider what you can do to show everyone love and respect by being cautious. No matter the personal risk to you, your neighbor needs you.
