Summary
Queen Elizabeth II made a rare televised address yesterday to support the British people during the coronavirus pandemic, assuring them that “we will overcome it.” This is only the fourth time she has addressed her nation outside of the Christmas holidays.
By contrast, US Surgeon General Jerome Adams said on Fox News Sunday, “This is going to be our Pearl Harbor moment, our 9/11 moment, only it’s not going to be localized. It’s going to be happening all over the country.” However, he added: “As hard as this week is going to be, there is a light at the end of the tunnel if everyone does their part for the next thirty days.”
These are indeed frightening days. But as Queen Elizabeth noted, when this crisis is over, we want to be able to take pride in how we “responded to this challenge.” Holy Monday can help.
