Coronavirus sparks an epidemic of people helping people in Seattle

Seattle Times columnist, Naomi Ishisaka: 'Fear might bring out some of our worst instincts, but crises bring out the best in humanity as well... In the days since the Seattle area became the epicenter of the outbreak, the outpouring of support has been moving and inspiring. On an individual level, people have offered free babysitting, cooking and food delivery for harried parents and medically vulnerable older adults...The coming months will challenge us in ways we have never before imagined. But if we continue, as writer Sonya Renee Taylor said, to “put radical love into practice,” we might emerge stronger than we began.'
