The Best in Us
After today (what day is it?) I can tell you the coronavirus is a real threat that is being taken seriously. The check-in counter employee in Bali’s airport last night asked me if I had been to China recently. Airport security and maintenance employees in Bali, Singapore, and Thailand all wear face masks. Even the crew on both flights wore them. Upon arrival, the airports in this part of the world measure incoming passengers’ temperatures. With how connected our world is today, this outbreak has potentially frightening implications. But the world is rallying together to minimize its damage. When faced with something acute that affects us all, we cooperate. Humanity has hope, and that hope is ourselves, the best in all of us.
