Be Your Own Knight in Shining Armor and Save Yourself

You have the power to save yourself from anything and everything.

We live in interesting times. The world is currently in the midst of upheaval like nothing any of us have ever seen in our lifetime.

It’s not a war, nor a great economic crash — it’s a virus. A microscopic invader that is hard to repel, impossible to see, and difficult to resist.

Steps are being taken to keep people as safe as possible. They are, unfortunately, drastic — but necessary.

Still, it’s important to know and acknowledge several things about this distressing situation.

1. Sheltering in place/social distancing is not the cure. It IS the best way to lessen the spread of this virus.
2. More people are asymptomatic than they know. Social distancing/self-quarantine protects those with weaker immune systems in many ways — more than everyone else.
3. Government policy and the economy will not dictate how long this will last. People of science and medicine are who to take your cues from.
4. You will not be destroyed by a lack of social interaction.
5. The economy will not be irreparably damaged by this. Changed, yes, destroyed, no.
