Pause, Reflect, and Keep Calm
Yes, this situation is scary. But be smart, use common sense, and don’t panic.
I know a lot of worried people. This entire situation is unprecedented. Nobody expected it, nobody was prepared for it, and now we’re in the midst of an unusual and frankly distressing place.
Covid-19, aka coronavirus, is spreading. There has been a lot of disinformation coupled with the reporting of various and mixed truths. The risk, the severity, and the reaction have been confusing, disturbing, uncertain, and generally infuriating.
The highest office of government has failed us, plain and simple. Now, as they play catch-up and damage-control, there will be unnecessary deaths, panic, and a lot of potential badness to come.
How bad will it be? What will happen tomorrow? What’s next?
Nobody has an answer. Nobody. Projections can be made both from an optimistic and pessimistic perspective. As we isolate ourselves out of necessity our sources of connectivity that have, frankly, made us more distant will become key to keeping us close.
Now, more than ever, you need to practice mindfulness.
