No one would dispute that our front-line responders, medical personnel and a host of other folks who take care of our basic needs food supply, including grocery stores and food banks, trash collectors, mail carriers and the list goes on are all heroes as they do their jobs day in and day out.

For that we are indeed grateful.

When I was growing up in the 1940s, Superman and Wonder Woman were portrayed as heroes. Now it has become evident that there are other kinds of heroes: people who follow the stay at home order, practice social distancing, wash their hands and abide by the dont-touch-your face guidelines.

They are true heroes, too, because they protect others in their home and communities, unlike those who blatantly continue to have lawn/beach parties or demonstrations/protests without following social distancing or treating others as they would want to be treated. When I was growing up that was called the Golden Rule.

Another type of hero who seems to have been receiving attention recently is what I call personal heroes: those who do grocery shopping for a neighbor who is unable, due to age or a health condition, to do it themselves.
