By Standing Very Still
I shouldn't make light, the crisis is real and the efforts great, but I am reminded of the time visiting Scotland when our guide told us we had reached the center of seismological activity in the entire island of Britain and that the largest recorded quake in Scottish history had happened but a few weeks prior -- 2.8 on the Richter Scale.
This caused those of us that reside in California to fall about the place laughing derisively.
