In 2003 Davy Rothbart at the New York Times asked Fred Rogers why people sometimes seemed afraid to talk to each other. Mr. Rogers sat quietly for 15 full seconds before answering: “Perhaps we think we won’t find another human being inside that person.”

I wrote a piece for the @nytopinion about images and #Covid_19, but was too affected by it to share it earlier. I put it all on the page. Thank you for reading, sharing, and for the outpouring of love. I'll write more tomorrow: nyti.ms/3dbz7mz
