Americans are not doing what we need to do: Why we must practice ‘physical distancing’ now
Episode description
SPECIAL EDITION DAILY ARTICLE FOR MARCH 19, 2020
Americans are not changing our behavior as we absolutely must to defeat this enemy.
A new Harris Poll survey reports that 89 percent of Americans are still going to coffee shops. Half of respondents have not altered their hygiene behavior with house guests (e.g., asking friends and family to wash their hands immediately upon entering); 58 percent have not changed how often they are inviting people over.
And since more than half of all Americans have at least one of the symptoms that puts them at risk, to put the situation bluntly: we can literally be infecting people who will die as a result.
How can we get more of us to do what everyone must do?
NOTE: Dr. Denison will publish a special edition Daily Article podcast episode each weekday afternoon as we look at a breaking news story in the context of biblical encouragements to “fear not.” In these days, it is vital that we fight fear with faith. The Denison Forum prays these Special Editions will be a source of biblical hope for you.
