It only takes a trip to the local grocery store these days to witness someone’s character or the lack thereof. Just a brief look at the empty paper products aisle in the ACME will show a telltale sign of unmanaged anxiety, causing more than a few of us to lose that moral compass. And as this crisis continues to develop every day, it is increasingly clear that character does indeed count during a pandemic.
That’s why the Spy reached out to Lauren Kay Weber, the new executive director of Character Counts Mid Shore the other day. While Character Counts in well known and respected for their work with public school students, this essential quality can be taught to anyone, regardless of their age.
In our Spy interview, Lauren addresses the role of character in the age of the coronavirus.

I know it is easy to criticize people hoarding necessities but people are scared. Perhaps stores can implement rules limiting the number of
necessary items one can purchase. If we want to talk about “character” perhaps focusing on those who voted for this disastrous man in The WH is a more prudent question. I mean , WTH? He is to blame for our disastrous response to the virus. Totally. And now he his playing favorites with states as to who gets relief. Not even his birth place of Queens, NY. will he help. Why? A Democrat is Governor. 13 deaths so far in his birth place . I am sorry to say this, but if there is a Hell…he is on his way there. And we want to talk”character”? Sorry, but that horse has left the stall.
