Entering a gathering recession need not necessitate a loneliness boom. This is our moment to actually invent (or popularize existing) ways to be meaningfully virtually together even while we’re physically apart.
#SocialDistancing
#gatheringrecession
#COVID19
Social distancing is crucial to slow the coronavirus.
But it’s going to cause a “social recession”: a collapse in social contact that will hit the elderly and people with disabilities particularly hard.
Loneliness can be lethal. We need to help them.

What does it mean to be a collective? Not just now, but over time and across generations? Thank you Ta-Nehisi for imploring us, again and again, to face this question anew.
"Enslavement reigned for 250 years on these shores. When it ended, this country could've extended its hallowed principles — life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — to all, regardless of color," writer Ta-Nehisi Coates told Congress. "But America had other principles in mind"

Yes, you use your power not to interrupt the participants but the debate: stand up, take their mics, call in security, do whatever you need to do interrupt the gathering. Wallace abdicated his hosting power (and inadvertently became an accomplice) by NOT calling a time-out.
