Positive Things to do Amidst the Coronavirus

Take Care of Yourself and Others

The basic thing to be careful of is exposure to people who have traveled or have flu like symptoms. It is super important to wash your hands and use hand sanitizer every time you touch a doorknob, come in contact with other people or hard surfaces where germs could have landed (example restaurant tables).

It is important for us to stay positive and optimistic that there will be a cure and this pandemic will be over soon. It won’t do us any good if we are depressed and fearful. Besides, an optimistic positive attitude supports good overall health. Perhaps our best defense system.

It is best to stay close to home if you can. Here are some basic supplies to have on hand. See a list of resources below.

Basic Supplies to Have on Hand

Water

Generally, people need 1 gal per day.

Food

  • Beans and grains
  • Potatoes and other root vegetables, onions, garlic, cabbage
