[Fuusm-l] helping others

Fri Mar 27 11:23:23 CDT 2020

After I responded to this I changed my mind. I want to speak honestly so 
we can think about this...I realize people are suffering, and it's going 
to get tougher to watch, but it seems like we could put our heads 
together and figure out how to work through the front line people who 
are trained to do this work. Lots of you are brilliant folks who have 
the potential to create something without putting yourselves at risk.  
This is a long-term issue that's going to last for perhaps a year, 
especially if we don't work together with the folks who are already out 
there doing the work.

I've spent some time looking for reliable material to begin to consider 
what's possible for our business, and how soon we could imagine having 
people wanting to spend money to take classes (not to visit in person) 
and it's clear that the virus has many stages and that people are not 
taking the shut down seriously.

If people are going to the grocery and then to the church they are not 
staying put.  This endangers your health, and perhaps the health of 
others by potentially exposing yourself to spreading the virus by 
carrying the germs even if you don't have symptoms, or by contracting 
the virus from someone else.

Over time this is the scene that plays into spreading the virus until 
more and more people have some version of it.  It's not just a one time 
thing with a big spike or a flat line.

Let's throw around some ideas, as Shari pointed out there are two groups 
that come to mind that are trying to feed people, and create a plan that 
helps everybody have the potential to stay as safe as possible.  Annie
