Here's what passes for good news these days - and it is good news. Over a month of social isolation seems to have slowed the spread of the coronavirus, though at terrible cost for many households & enterprises. More waves of hardship await, and possibly more waves of the virus, too, but it's not as bad as it might have been. That is welcome news. Still, still. Four hundred seventy-eight more people lost their lives - in just a day. Four hundred seventy-eight irreplaceable individuals, most dying alone, their families and communities unable to bid a personal farewell or even a formal one. May they rest in peace.Monday, April 20, 2020
