In light of recent developments in coronavirus precautions where I live, I just wanted to jump on here and say a few words.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL, PLEASE USE RELIABLE SOURCES FOR INFORMATION ON COVID-19 SUCH AS WHO.
The first thing is simple. Please be nice to each other. Times are uncertain. I get that completely. But being decent human beings and treating everyone with a bit of respect, even if they took the last pack of toilet role, is important, now more than ever. Of course, you should be doing this anyway. Also, please remember that the coronavirus is no one's fault. There is no room for bigotry and discrimination in this world, let alone Coronavirus inspired racism.
The second point is please don't panic. Take this pandemic seriously, please, but there is no need to panic. Be aware of things you can do to help protect yourself and others, like regular handwashing, social distancing, self-isolation and good general hygene. Also, regardless of whether you are self-isolating or not, please take a moment to get in touch to get in contact with someone if you know they are. Check in on them, set up a call. Be nice.
