With the recent declaration by the World Health Organization of COVID-19 as a pandemic, please don't panic buy/hoard medical supplies. It prevents those who actually need them to survive from getting them (think of cancer patients, anyone who needs wounds treated, diabetics, and those who are immune-compromised).
Take a breath
and realize that you can only control so much, but what you CAN
control has a huge impact!
Hand washing, avoiding touching your face,
avoiding crowds when it isn't absolutely necessary, giving people space
so you aren't breathing down someone's neck, and if you are sick,
staying home from work/school/social functions/public transit until you
feel better. If you absolutely have to go out while you're sick, wear a mask or find a creative way of covering your nose and mouth so you
don't cough/sneeze on others.
You've got this--we believe in you!
