Guest Commentary: Our entire lives have been upended. Restaurants — the few that are able — are doing take out. Struggling merchants are closing their doors or reducing their hours. Community seems to have taken a back seat to social distancing. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Maybe this great global experiment in social distancing will open new doors to creating community. Maybe our human ability to support each other in times of need is greater than our fears. I believe we can flatten the COVID-19 curve, even while strengthening our social bonds.
