Heroes come in many forms.
In comic books “hero” is often somebody
who's got supernatural powers,
particularly some type of strength.
Humans, we're all pretty limited in our strength.
But our ability to see injustice and take it on
that's really unbounded.
Now, for this epidemic,
there really are exemplars
who sacrifice their safety or comfort
helping society continue to operate.
First and foremost are the health workers
who are dealing with lots of sick people
and incredible overloads,
and firemen, bus drivers,
people who keep the food supply chain working,
even to be a clerk in a store,
we depend on these people to show up.
We see those efforts,
and thank you for keeping us safe.
