Remember, the greatest risk to you may not be to YOUR body—but it may be THROUGH YOUR body to someone else’s—that would be devastating.
We practice social distancing, great hand hygiene, & vigilance not just to protect ourselves, but folks we love.

First, you’re not screwed! We’re doing all this to make sure of it.
What CAN you do? The same thing as everyone else (social distancing, great hand hygiene) + stock up on supplies. Don’t buy a ton of TP, do get 2 months of your meds/canned foods.

This can really mess w/ anxiety, esp if it takes us from our support system.
Check in w/ folks by phone. If you see a mental health provider, see if telehealth is an option.
For me, helping others helps too. So check in/support vulnerable folks.
