With COVID19 slowly seeping through the cracks and taking over every major city on the world, there are some big changes in the way we run our day to day lives. The way we shop, eat and interact with others has been tainted, no longer do we have the freedom to do things normally. It is our human responsibility to take care of each other in any way possible. So here is a list of COVID19 etiquette and things you can do to be a decent human being in the face of this craziness
On the off chance that you have escaped the abnormality of not being able to go to work ( this means you essential services people!), this is especially aimed at you!
Stay Home
You’re not an immune anomaly that is higher or above anyone. This is not a conspiracy for the government to control us nor is it all fake news and the more people who get it the more immune we’ll be. Just stay away from people – its not hard. being alone can be the most powerful growth tool for your personality and confidence you can get. Scared of being alone ? Sometimes the greatest rewards are from things that scare you the most. Practise meditation, clean your house, have an online virtual party, pick up the phone and talk to someone you haven’t had time for , read a book, get creative and make some weird shit that the internet will make someone laugh…
Check On Thy Neighbour
I don’t mean go door knocking with freshly baked cupcakes (although under normal circumstances you would be my hero). I mean wash your hands and pop a note with your phone number on it and offer to go and pick up anything they need or to call just for a chat. This especially needed for our older generation who are isolated and defiantly independent. Mental health will be the hidden killer in this epidemic mark my words – so a reaching out might just go a long way.
Here is a link to the official note – just print it out and away you go!
Use Technology and Get Deliveries!
We may be relegated to our homes but the technology has not died has it? Isn’t this the perfect scenario for putting to good use all the amazing technological advances we have created in the last 30 years? Basically everyone has the internet and can order online, so use whats available, spend money locally wherever possible and don’t get too down. It will all be back to normal soon and this will be a distant memory our children will refer to in their history books.
