Home and Neighbor Stories

Neighbor Love in the Era of COVID-19 

"Tactics to reduce the health-care burden encompass those recommended by CDC and WHO to “flatten the curve." ...Loving our neighbors during this unsettling period requires we (1) limit the overwhelm on the medical system, so doctors can provide for the sickest, and (2) protect and support those most vulnerable to infection." (Kathryn Butler, MD)

8 Things the Coronavirus Should Teach Us 

"I awoke this morning in Naples, Italy’s third city, to have been placed on lockdown. Public gatherings, including church services, have been forbidden. Weddings, funerals, and baptisms have been canceled. Schools and cinemas, museums and gyms, have all been closed. My wife and I just returned from a grocery-shopping trip that took two hours due to long checkout lines. Italy currently has the highest reported number of coronavirus cases outside of China: 9,172 cases and 463 deaths. As a result, 60 million people have been told to remain in their homes unless absolutely necessary."(Mark Oden, Pastor in Naples, Italy.)

Watch: Quarantined Italians are singing their hearts out. It's beautiful. 

"It just might make you remember there’s something beautiful about our ability to find silver linings even in very dark times. Stay safe, everybody. And if you have a balcony, sing." (Emily Todd VanDerWerff, Vox)
