Superb writing and images. I think my naive sort of trust in “community” has taken a beating. Most now refuse to wear masks, even in medical settings, where elderly and immunocompromised people continue to be at risk. Our government has given up on the idea of “public health” completely. Nevertheless, the continuing high level of care given by medical staff despite a lot of abuse has been heartening. Downright thrilling are the ongoing voluntary efforts by hundreds of people organizing to provide mutual aid.
Yes, I used to believe that if only "the people" had the facts, their inherent sense of justice and equality would come forth. Naive is too kind a word. But also yes, some people continue to work toward a better world.
