What We Should Learn from the COVID-19 Pandemic.

What We Should Learn from the COVID-19 Pandemic. J Clin Ethics. 2020;31(3):197-208 Authors: Hower EG Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic may have left many of us needing closeness with others more than we have before. Three contexts in which we may especially need this closeness are (1) when we must triage and some but not all will benefit, (2) when families may be separated from loved ones who have COVID-19, and (3) when people for any reason experience shame. In this article I examine sources of present, harmful emotional distancing. I suggest how we might do better in each of these contexts due to what the COVID-19 pandemic can teach us.
