Today's episode is a bit different - I'm going to be sharing thoughts that aren't my own at all. You may have seen this piece around the internet called "There is no emergency in a pandemic."  I've seen it reproduced on a variety of platforms, but this is link to where I first saw it. I've also seen many comments on this piece on Facebook, Reddit, and other spots, some of which are well worth reading. This piece really is great food for thought, so I'm simply going to read it to you, discuss a few poignant comments, and hope to give you something thought-provoking to share with others.
