 3 weeks ago, while walking on Colorado Blvd in Pasadena, I was approached by a young woman and 2 camera men. She asked me if I would consent to be interviewed for SinoTV about current affairs. My first thought, being the high-minded person I am was, “But I’m not wearing make up!”. Once we moved beyond that, the woman began asking me questions about Corona virus, and ended by asking me if I had a message for the people of China. Feeling the weight of responsibility speaking for all the people of the United States, I said something inane about hoping everyone would feel better soon, and hoping they were able to get the care they needed. I still feel pretty stupid about that experience, but I do want to share what that experience and this whole Corona virus situation has reinforced for me.
