Mark, my heart goes to you, Mahmoud. To Tariq's family. I have shared reality of living in SF during the very beginning of discovery of the virus, the suffering, the funerals, the hateful ignorance. I believe it is an experience that marks us. And I cannot even imagine what it's like for someone in Gaza, or other war zones. May you receive all the comfort your sweet husband offers and be filled with it.
You know, however much we try to imagine it, we will fall short, of course. But the willingness to try to is very, very important. It is the soul of empathy, because, indeed, we must imagine the experience of 99% of the world.
