The National MS Society has been putting out helpful information about the coronavirus. They seem to be trying harder to be less of an exclusive club--meant mainly for people with MS who happen to be well off--to being an organization serving all kinds of people with MS, rich and poor.

There was a time years ago when they didn't do much but run fund-raising events and have support group meetings here and there, spottily.

In Chicago, for instance, they had hardly any support groups in the city itself. They were all out in the suburbs.

It was as if people in the city just didn't get MS, but that wasn't so.
