You know the old joke about the front page of The New York Times announcing Armageddon: Meteor Hurtles Toward Earth! World to End by Midnight. Women, Minorities Hardest Hit.

Then and Now

They lived in the pre-Dr. Phil generation before people went public with their deepest thoughts. I have been thinking how they might have responded to the current panic caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. I suspect their reactions would come in ways far different…
