A church near us has this message board up and usually it has been a sweet thing to glance at as we walk past--- names of people who are being prayed for, etc. These past few weeks people are scribbling over each other's messages and erasing each other's words, all about politics. I hate looking at it -- it's like an embodiment of our current situation, some people (only a few around here) yelling about how great Republicans are and others reacting with justified fury. I wish the church would just take away the chalk because there's nothing sweet about it now. During this pandemic we are all in a state of fury and terror all the time and our opportunities to connect are few and limited, and even a church chalkboard turns into polarized social media war.

Have people in your community supported one another during the pandemic? Talk about why or why not, and maybe give some examples.
Yes, I do. I live in a very lefty DC suburb and everyone on the list serves has been looking out for those who are in need. The county gov and schools stepped in right away to continue with free lunches. Farmers are giving away food to people who are hungry. People are volunteering. People are wearing masks and overall being kind to one another.
