My heart hurts for our world 🌎 💔
Sad about having to cancel/indefinitely postpone two upcoming trips. (If anyone has cute ideas on at-home anniversary and birthday celebrations please holla at your girl)
Even sadder, about the current state of affairs the world is in right now. Flattening the curve, not bombarding our health care systems, and containing this is super important right now.
While it’s hard not to panic in the midst of this global standstill, remember to wash your hands, sanitize door handles and phones, boost your immunity, get enough sleep, but most of all, always hold onto the little things that make you smile, or make you forget your worries in this chaotic time, even if it’s just for a couple minutes. FaceTime your loved ones. Read a good book. Listen to an uplifting podcast. Dance to your favorite song. Cook or bake your favorite thing. Hold onto your faith a little harder.
If you’re still going to work: Try not to panic, but also don’t take this lightly.
Social distancing on mass transit is incredibly important now more than ever. Look at reliable sources for accurate information globally and locally.
We’ve been living,breathing, and monitoring this since January, personally and for work. Watching this spread across the world, progressively get worse over time doesn’t go over easy. While you and I may be healthy young individuals able to fight it off, we may not be able to say the same for someone else we may pass it on to. It is wise to stock up for 2-3 weeks if you have to go into self isolation. Have enough medicine and baby essentials on hand to last you a month. Stocking up for anything longer is what’s causing the hysteria in our local grocery stores. Don’t leave your community without their basic needs either.
There’s no real facts or enough research on what this virus is doing or will do (I’m looking at you, WhatsApp forwards) coming out of flu season and going into warmer weather. There is hope that there is light at the end of this tunnel, let’s do our best to not elongate this tunnel. Please say an extra prayer today, for all the frontline medical professionals, techs, nurses, and doctors. May we all stay safe & healthy 🤲🏼
