If you are more than lucky, you are in service. That is when your craft meets your ability and your flow meets the zeitgeist. You are in the DEEP. No one can hang out there forever. You have to come back to the shore, if only to eat and maybe have some babies or pay a light bill.

If we do this for all vaccinations, people will be able to open up the contact tracing app, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, maybe even TikTok, and connect to an immunization coverage map to see what percentage of their local population has taken the vaccine. It’ll also give them a clear picture of the rising or static level of health safety in their community.

Maybe this happens in every creative endeavor but comedians seem to struggle in a particular way with the zeitgeist moving on. Or, it could be that I think of really good comedians as supremely tuned into cultural nuances. When they are so crudely blind to a pretty significant nuance — like, hey, trigger warnings aren’t a real thing — maybe I meet one of my natural limits.

For local, state, and Federal officials, it’ll be shorthand for how effectively they’re immunizing their localities and states and where there is resistance to the vaccination program, and when they need to act to counter it.

Or, you have a wife and you do not have to do any of those things. That is when a critic or an audience or an editor or a new, bigger power forward shows you that it is time to go back to the coastline. No harm, no foul. You will still create but maybe your ebbs and flows are on a different schedule.

I wondered if comedians have the same built-in reality checks on the natural limits of their creative lifespan that athletes or singers or dancers have. Creative lifespans are idiosyncratic, but are often special in the same ways. We can create forever but few of us will do so. It takes time to learn your craft. If you are lucky, your craft eventually meets your ability and you find the much-heralded state of flow.

peration. Since then, I have undergone regular testing several times a year. To this day, I cry every time I go to the cancer center at Stanford. In hindsight I should have seen a psychologist to process what I was going through — the emotional toll was far worse for me than the physical.

Roxane Gay and I talked with Claudia Rankine on Hear to Slay recently. Claudia told a great story about Richard Pryor that got us talking about great comedians as social critics:

Dave Chappelle recently did a provocative Saturday Night Live monologue that manages to be both brilliantly incisive on race and pedestrian as hell (and bad) on gender and culture wars. Dave has joined many comedians in loudly, repeatedly bemoaning that “political correctness” and “woke” are killing comedy. Dave has been careening wildly lately between his lane and lanes best reserved for Reddit moderators. He isn’t the only one. Kevin isn’t in the same atmosphere as Dave. At his best, Dave is the very definition of a social critic. However, this week they share the honor of being comedians who really get *it* in some ways while not getting it at all in other ways.

News that the UK will start vaccinating its citizens with the approved Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine as soon as next week is encouraging and it probably means we’ll see delivery of the vaccine in the U.S. and elsewhere before the end of this year.

On Twitter today, I suggested we use the Contact Tracing apps co-developed by Apple and Google and various local government and health agencies to track who gets the vaccine and where. I’ve been running one on my iPhone for months. For places where use of these apps is not prevalent (sadly, many areas), we could also utilize social media’s disaster related “Marked as Safe” functions.

As we know, technology has played a huge role in fast-tracking the development of multiple vaccine choices, but that speed and other political and social tensions means that not everyone will agree to take the vaccine.

Contact tracing app and social media platform developers could start updating their systems now in preparation for the vaccine’s delivery later this month or early next year. The data collected could ultimately be shared with other countries and help reopen the world and get us back to our pre-pandemic life that much more quickly.
