44. Caring in the Times of Corona

As the news rolls in everyday from COVID-19, we take a pause to reflect on this past week. The sudden change in human behavior, how governments have done massive interventions to protect citizens, the ambition and action of businesses to slow contamination, and lastly, how humans have rediscovered humanity in caring for one another. Christiana brings a list of amazing things happening in the the midst of the pandemic, and Tom shares a bit about how a revelation during his time as a Buddhist Monk could change the world.
