ABSTRACT
Introduces this special issue on COVID-19. The author reviews the history of the Spanish Flu, and discusses his experiences of the pandemic while residing in China. He compares the freedom and liberty espoused in the US, demonstrated by the choice of some not to wear masks and practice social distancing, to the more "obedient" approach in the collectivist culture of China. That obedience is not just a form of subservience but also demonstrates acts of care and respect for one's neighbors. The special issue is the authors' way of opening windows and shouting out to the world what they have to offer in terms of encouragement and care in the midst of suffering.
