With all this talk about coughs, and germs, here are a  few suggestions for each of you to Take Care of yourselves, and by association, our Community!

• Social Distancing – take this seriously!  If you are not worried about getting sick yourself, great!  Please think about your parents, grandparents, and those of your colleagues and our community.

  • Avoid social gatherings as much as possible.

  • “Flattening the Curve” - It may not entirely stop the spread of viruses, however is significantly effective in easing the strain on the health care system.  If you have not yet read about “Flattening the Curve” here’s a great article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/corona-simulator/?fbclid=IwAR3boWczXOHfqcvN_12E9syKIHAt-OWsB4G6n8PUuyQaC9JQgLoejFgSO8I

• Vitamins – Vitamins may help boost your immune system: https://mailchi.mp/06aba9678ebb/optimizing-your-immune-system-to-prevent-illness?e=b8bc8c25f1 (talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or naturopath about any conflicts of meds if you are on others).

• Wash your hands, don't just use hand sanitizer.

• Fresh Air – Never a bad idea, especially if your throat is feeling irritated by all the hand sanitizer and wipes!

• Get more Rest – getting enough sleep is always good for you!

• Don’t stress about what you cannot control – Turn off the news for a while and laugh!  We are all in this together, and will figure this out as it comes.  Caution is great, Panic is not! 

• Watch out for increased Cyber-attacks, spam emails, phone calls etc. – If it seems odd, question it!  There will be people trying to jump at the vulnerabilities that present themselves.
