Everything is shut down but the one thing we continue to have plenty of is online communication. I think we should, for a while at least, forget the politics and use that ability to keep each other informed about their personal status and what's going on in their local community. Clearly, we want government agencies to do their best but it's up to the individual people to let each other know if they're having problems, give assistance and solutions that they've found for themselves. Americans have been through much worse than this, but these days we have the advantage of widespread communication to help. Let's use it positively.
That goes for the news media as well. They've got to be broadcasting helpful stuff, like who's being hurt financially and ways we can help, where we can get services, and especially virus testing. Testing is supposed to be coming online, but I still don't know the details of where to get it done and how to go about it. Pretty clearly the government leaders and agencies are going all out to do what is needed, so if the news media have something to say let it be in the way of positive suggestions and stop the blame game. There'll be plenty of time for that after the crisis is over.
