Trusting that politics (on all sides) will ever get out of the way of good policy, we should rely on, and support the work of science to tell us when, and how we should re-emerge. In the meantime, we should have patience - not pessimism, and empower our productivity, not fuel our powerlessness with idle fear and wasted time. Especially now, every moment should be valued, and every opportunity utilized – to work and improve, to rest and restore, and to contribute as we have the skills and resources to do so.
