Michael, thank you for forwarding your thoughtful piece. We have found -- through the virus -- that in a battle between civilization and its hubris vs. Mother Nature, the latter always wins. It is indeed a humbling experience. Appreciate your message. -- Jim
It's ironic you bring up my teaching background. I adore my fellow teachers. They are incredibly caring, dedicated and devoted people. However, as a whole they also comprise the most neurotic group of hysterics on the planet.
It's so strange ... every day they have no idea of what kind of microbes and other bugs walk in their classroom. But with Corona, they've gone mental. I had a sub job last year (I'm retired) and I came to a classroom where the teacher had taped off her desk like a crime scene ... yellow "caution" tape and all.

I agree the latter wins.
The challenge to change minds to that winning fact is daunting.
As a teacher you may have encountered such obstacles often, yes?
