[HENRY SHONERD]

Good Day Annalisa,
So sorry. Not the first time I have stumbled here. This one is hilarious and, of course, avoidable. I hope to do better with my next turn. Your link to the Times article is very interesting, related to David K’s list of men and women leaders in the face of COVID-19. I did look up Durga and Shaktism in Hinduism. Very interesting reflections on forms of power. Nourishing for the future has been planting strawberry plants in straw bales in our back yard. 
Stay well,
Henry

>> Wonderful article, Annalisa! 
>> Definitely welcome good news about good leadership inthe face of COVID-19: K.K. Shailaja, health minister of the state of Kerala in India. A woman and a member of the Communist Party there. Already a celebrity because of the way she handled an even deadlier virus in 2018. From the article in the Guardian, “In a way she had been preparing for a similar outbreak all her life.” From what we have been reading for years from epidemiologists, COVID-19 is a dress rehearsal for even deadlier viruses. Kerala has the highest literacy rate, the highest life expectancy and the lowest infant mortality in India. Meanwhile, the Trump team is sending out surveys that allow people to get high scores on their hatred of socialism. Tooting my New Mexico horn, we have a woman governor that has shown great leadership in maintaining social distancing. However, our literacy is among the lowest in the country and push back from deniers and conspiracy theorists has been ugly. Infection rates have been disproportionately high among Native Americans, particularly Navajos and some Pueblos, though death rates of those infected are highest among whites.
