Erik Larson's book 'The Splendid and the Vile' is recommended reading for posters with some down time.
Why? The book is a colorful social history of Great Britain under the Blitz, i.e., a society under siege. There are all sorts of parallels with the present situation. The Blitz went on for nearly a year. The quantum of social resilience was much larger than anyone would have expected. I think the same thing will prove true of the US in the present situation.

I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.
