It's a good news on the go, even staying home orders are using nationwide many of us are still struggling with the effects of isolation is Lee Cowan now tells us Bieber's not quite ready to fly stuck in the next waiting there for him to be doing pretty much the way so many of us have felt lately, even as we to poker heads out more and more pre-sign solid isolation.

What is beautiful is all of this will.

These are most of us would trade piece for other people. Right about now. Human beings do not like to be alone drip wrong is a sociologist at Cal poly Pomona were not to cope in solitude were taught to cope with people were taught to interact with people to get our validations and you're on your own. You have to author your own way out of this is a very scary process and that's really what this is all about scope is sort of figuring this out. We need to connect again to the body to the handshake to the hog for the time being that's not happen because our physical spaces have been empty and even as they fill up still told isolate 6 feet apart. Learning how to live in this kind of social straitjacket is a new thing for us. Steve Cole is a genomics research review Sheila's loneliness isn't just a mental deficit.

It can be a physical one to were literally more likely to die more likely to get cancer more likely to get heart attacks more likely to get Alzheimer's disease and more vulnerable to viral infections when were lonely weighing what he calls dinosaur bring go. Being alone meant being a pretty easy one for something bigger and more powerful. Our brains are wired to see isolation as a threat. What happens when we feel lonely is that dinosaur brain immediately computes not safe. It triggers these physiological responses that get us ready for injury completely without us thinking about it so we may not even be aware of this. So even just being alone for a couple weeks. Physiological absolutely even being alone for a few days is enough to do it but isolation have to get better.

Just ask father Angeles attribute to ever get low kosher butcher. He's a Benedictine monk and that you told people� Forced isolation haven't chosen this voluntary like you to advice to how you get through. Be gentle with yourself. Be patient. Patients is something that is quite difficult to do because patient simply means to be able to sit with our suffering. Most of us struggle with what is in that struggle. He says that we sometimes forget that while isolation does take it can also give the space has been created for dream.

The space has been created for allowing our mind to wander get rid of the clutter.

If you're not worried about the next thing because the next thing is happening. History is full of examples of people who abuse isolation to the benefit Henry David Thoreau self quarantined in these Massachusetts woods to you experiment what he called constructive solitude.

It gave us his masterwork pulled in. The plague ridden 1600s playhouses closed William Shakespeare and King Lear, Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatra, Sir Isaac Newton was stuck at home to when he developed the theory of gravity space in Shakespeare or through this story about homeschooling, job loss, either like most of us mere mortals. But if we can seize on our isolation as an opportunity like they did even the smallest thing my hours to feel a little less hello so many of you have sent us the ways you've been coping with the lockdown from sketching the baking to quilting Carrie Fisher Pascual has been typing her way out of isolation, not a lot of people are feeling robbed and there feeling trapped. Right now they're feeling so cut off, but there are certain things that you never cut off from you know your spirit, your hope, your ability to encourage other people. She's making greeting cards using old photographs types uplifting caption like better together. Your heart is my home there so many challenges but somewhere in there. There is something that you can be doing. There is a gift in their and if you can find it. I think that's complete joy. Nine-year-old Alex McCartney found Jory figuring out how to digitally disappear. Six-year-old Margo wrote you discovered nature through camera and that the end of the day is really how we all rolled grieving the loss of community even as we begin to step back out. I think once we resolve the physiological aspects of this pandemic were still have to deal with all the unresolved issues of new fears of the isolation may linger just as long as the buyers and while it is an unnatural human condition or experience of being could just inspire a new way of living.

All crises are opportunities to kind of go back to first principles, decide what really matters readjust our lives and lead a life that is fundamentally more nutritious for our spirits and souls. Tomorrow is not promised for any of us and so what are we doing today that's the question how we live today is what will determine tomorrow maybe hard to believe but it was 40 years ago tomorrow that the biggest of big bangs rocked the Pacific Northwest Luke Burbank takes us back in May 17, 1980.

40 years ago today was a beautiful day on the mountain, Southwest Washington. It was also the most significant day, Carol and Rogers like she had a colleague had traveled to the active volcano. Mount Saint Helens drop off equipment to US geological station. They plan to stay the night.

But geologist David Johnston tasked with monitoring the mountain warned them against it.

He said let's just have a few people here as possible. We were very disappointed that we spend the night looking at this beautiful volcano. The sun was just starting to set.

We stop and I took a couple of last Mount Saint Helens.

The very next morning at 8:32 AM Mount Saint Helens erupted they are calling up the most violent eruption of this volcano and 32,000 you the energy that came out was the day is bigger than any nuclear weapons we have an arsenal. Steve Olson is the author of a book about it the whole northern flank of the volcano collapsed into this valley that was between us and that let out this burst of pressure that had been building up inside. The blast triggered the largest landslide in recorded history and flatten trees for 220 mi.� with a cloud of smoke, ash and pumice in all seven people died. It was the first clear weekend that had happened in the year 19 and so a lot of people in the surrounding area and simply make plans to come out and go camping and hiking. They weren't even watching the volcano necessarily to exclusion zones had been set up to try to keep safe while still allowing warehouser logging trucks to harvest timber side of the mountain. A lot of people that own property appear that one be able to get their property geologist with issue warnings saying no, we think the volcano is too dangerous then as now debate raged over whether to protect people's livelihoods for their life.

They have to put a roadblock up just keep it to expect us to survive if it's so dangerous here. Why are we still here and I I just don't think the whole thing is just ridiculous ridiculously deadly. It would turn out. In fact, scientists have even drawn up new larger boundaries which might have saved lives, but the plans that on then Gov. Dixie Lee raise desk unsigned.

She attended a rhododendron festival. In fact, all but three of the people who were killed in the eruption were outside of the danger zones and been established when the volcano erupted 1500 feet of the mountain vaporized in seconds. In a violent superheated cloud of debris killing people as far away as 20 miles. I think people would think a cloud of dust and debris. You know doesn't seem that dangerous.

Now this is more than a cloud.

It was more like a stone hurricane essentially hurricane made up of pulverized stone that was moving with such force that it could just knock down anything. One of the first to die. Geologist David Johnston.

It turns out he hadn't planned to be on the mountain that day he was filling in for his colleague Don Swanson. He had taken my place on Saturday night in the 45 seconds before the cloud hit. He was able to radio out one last warning telling the Vancouver monitoring station. This is it. His body is never been found where you can see those trees down there that are that are cut off flat was in an area on their view of the volcano from that ridge in the end the only reason there wasn't a greater loss of life was that it was a Sunday, so fewer people were working on and around the mountain today. Trees and wildlife are returning to Mount Saint Helens, but 40 years later, in the midst of a different kind of catastrophe. It's hard not to wonder if we've learned all we could have from that sunny Sunday in 1980 Sunday morning 24 hours a day to check out our website earlier Rita braver told us about the class of 2020.

Doing without problems and graduation ceremonies, but Steve Hartman has found some determine seniors refusing to take no for an answer.

When Gabrielle pierces graduation got canceled. Her dad Terrence was almost as upset as she was far what you thought of something. I guess that is) where the usually partnership graduated his daughter from diverse podium in front of friends, family, and passing motorists. Gabrielle says was deathly not the graduation she envisioned still everything she dreamed.

Could you imagine that being possible just a few weeks ago. Now that's just one of many small miracles were starting to see across the country.

Disappointed graduates discovering linings as schools get creative with better tributes and parade graduation. Others are planning driving graduations, at least one way is by graduation here in Indianapolis And all the Speedway hosting ceremony were kids can cruise the track of their own, presumably at a reasonable speed and pick up their diplomas on the way out is not members. They thought they were going to have but it's something different and unique that will probably remember forever. Scott cover his band director at Fergus Falls high school in Minnesota. He is playing for his high school's virtual graduation 22 six got two full days to make this video for his educators like parents, like the pulling out all the stops to make this a graduation to remember. So what are these graduates look back in hindsight at 2020.

They won't dwell on what was lost. What was what was left completely unaffected moments like this one can be less crowded than I am right now. And there's the only graduations. This has put a lot of summer vacations on hold but never fear our, Knighton has sent us a postcard from a faraway place, you can visit from home a few years ago I took a trip to the Faroe Islands located halfway between Iceland and Norway. The collection of 18 small islands is officially part of the kingdom of Denmark and is easily one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I was hoping to go back for vacation this year, but obviously those plans changed. You asked some great weeks of summer as well letting Hansen that works for the Fairways tourism Bureau. We met back in 2017. He mentioned that they can sometimes be challenging to attract visitors to a place most tourists have never heard of. We realize that we live in a very remote place and we sometimes have this. This feeling of being like David against Goliath, but their alignments tourism has steadily been on the rise 2020 was set to be a record-breaking year is going to be a note to know hotels are putting out some those hotel reservations are all canceled but once coated 19 completely shut down tourism incident.

His team decided that he would serve as the eyes and ears of those who were forced to put their tricks on hold at-tourism.com you can help guide the Fairways guy equipped themselves with cameras, headsets, live streaming, long walks every minute a new person gets the chance to direct movements from home when you return. Well we jump. If you don't get a chance to snag a minimum the controls. It's fun to watch.

No matter who's in charge guides hopped on the boat's virtual forces and helicopters. It's really no big country.

Many, many miles away.

See the houses are quite close to. If there something you want to get a closer look at the press of the button transmits a live instruction to the guy what the percentage of helpful versus messing with you have people to make you jump and run left and right what balance we consider that most people have been very helpful if you jump she was one of those cheeky people. When I got my turn at the controls during one of the tourers. I couldn't resist putting Levy through his paces look forward of the Straits was the ship again, but you can see it, Rhonda Doshi guides will often make suggestions about where they'd like you to steer them so you're given the final say.

Of course, is that some of these online visitors turn into in person visitors.

One day really. What better way to show off the destination to show that in the Faroe Islands doesn't matter which way you turn it all.

Jerry Seinfeld is a comedian equally at home on television and stand up stage this morning. He's in conversation with Tracy Smith sorry Jerry, of course, that you are awesome.

Thank you.

High your house look very like.

Thank you. Okay, after years of watching Jerry Seinfeld on TV. Strange to have him watching me and I know the book to lamp everything done very carefully. But I have to tell you, very like the big thank you. It's so weird being able to see into people's houses. This way I know most of them are quite bad, you realize they're not special people people people are still the most fertile ground for funny human beings like to be close together because it makes it easier for us to judge and criticize his new Netflix special 23 hours to kill.

Jerry Seinfeld is back doing what he loves. Among the people he loves only to appoint my favorite my favorite type of intimate relationship. I love you you love me and we will never be. It struck me, watching 23 hours to kill that even though it was clearly taped before the world shut down. It was somehow amazingly on point and I'm wondering if are you watching it now, you felt that way. What do you mean that five there were some lines in their wine was when you're talking about relationship with the audience. I love you you love me and right moment yeah together, but were really not. I know that because I know that everyone's life sucks your life sucks my life sucks to perhaps not quite as the whole idea that everyone's life actually pretty yeah right now, but it's also great that you're alive excited about a bowl of cereal. Now that you really could afford like 12 o'clock you want to eat bad and you go and I look like in the cupboard like no rate is the idea of well things are bad. How can we make it worse. Why don't we put people that are already struggling with portion control, Caligula, I know you love going out and testing out material and clubs. How are you testing material now I'm not I'm not. I have no idea what funny right now. No idea at the moment his audience is usually his wife Jessica and their three children, you try material in your family yes I do. Are your teenagers willing listeners. If you try material on them, but they're not. Nothing better than to look at your data and go about them getting smarter.

Why don't we.

Seinfeld, hoping to take his new show on the road soon.

But for now, that other show audience know this series has been on a zillion list. The thing to core and stream or unit to binge watch right now 01110 Seinfeld is timeless in part because it came out before smart phone, so maybe that's part of it. That sign was that in the 90s but come on, there's a little something more to it that people are reaching for that now is a kind but no phone thing. Now every story they tell you my people and talk about timeless. The great Jerry Stiller passed away just a few days after we talked with Seinfeld in a tweet. Seinfeld said that Stiller's comedy would live forever going in the world besides everything course Seinfeld new show is funny to but what really makes it special isn't just the jokes. It's the site of the audience laughing together shoulder to shoulder. The other thing that struck me.

I also felt a little sentimental seeing the crowd there together people enjoying a laugh in a crowded theater and I wondered you worry that that's gone forever know I will be gone forever can last forever, anymore than we could last forever. Byron you know I think show business terms. You got a lucky break, so having a good moment. Now going to be hired to get over you go you know what you had your time, move on nine weeks into life in quarantine our Jim gas again is holding up on press. Remember when hearing the word unprecedented was something special, something people would say sounds dramatic, unprecedented devastation in Australia. The hurricane caused unprecedented devastation unprecedented outbreak born to be frightened a little excited when I would hear the word unprecedented. This is really almost unprecedented being social. Something that's never happened.

Mixing things up. Now the word unprecedented bounces off me breaking news unprecedented job loss is measured taking to shut down the country could be quote unprecedented illness and fatalities.

Like most of you. I just want to go back to the times of precedents.

I miss the good old days.

Politics was boring business news business news fast. I want to go back to a time when I had no idea what an epidemiologist was we live in unprecedented times with an unprecedented number of sick people in unprecedented strain on our healthcare workers in unprecedented level of unemployment and an unprecedented number of Americans seeking food assistance to me. The struggle to find hope and gratitude. In these times is unprecedented. I have so much to be grateful for my wife survived a plane to my children are healthy physically.

I should focus on gratitude.

These unprecedented times see unprecedented events are now Pres. Pres. the president is unprecedented, which is now press. How long have I been in here.
