The robot, Gort, from the science movie, The Day the Earth Stood Still, has much in common with our new visitor, Covid-19. Both visitors caused everything to stop. While Gort may have been a fictional robot, Covid-19 is real. Our European neighbors showed us what happens should we choose to continue with business as usual. Our best option is to get out of the way of those best equipped to help us get through this crisis. We need to pretend Gort has returned from the 1951 movie classic to stop us from spreading this highly contagious virus. We need to stand still, all of us except those who staff our hospitals, our distribution centers, and our sources for food like my day job. Social distancing is the new norm. My hope is that while we're standing still we find a way to stay positive. Have a great day.
