Letter: How to roll with the coronavirus

(Jeremy Harmon | The Salt Lake Tribune) The playground at Hawthorne Elementary in Salt Lake City is taped off so it can't be used as schools around the state remained closed because of the coronavirus pandemic on Monday, March 23, 2020.

It's social connections, lack of distance, that cause me to lend you a cup of sugar, accept your offer to shop for me when I break my leg, stand shoulder to shoulder with you filling sandbags to prevent flooding or offer you a place to stay if your house does flood.

We pull together in times of crisis because, as somebody from Magna said while cleaning up after the earthquake, "That's how we roll."

Physical distance, social connections. That’s how we need to roll with the coronavirus.

Andy White, Holladay
