As Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread, many people are feeling powerless, unsafe and downright terrified about what may be coming. We want to take action, to take back control, but we don’t know what to do. So our fears magnify, making us less rational, and this puts added stress on our bodies at a time when we all want to be strong.

Fear itself is very like a virus. It replicates, and it passes from person to person. Fear breeds panic. This not only undermines us as individuals, but also sabotages the mechanics of society, which now more than ever needs to be efficient.

There is a spread of a novel coronavirus that is wreaking havoc on the city of Wuhan located in the Hubei province of China. The outbreak of the virus began early in December of 2019 and has continued to spread. The people who were the first ones to become infected were all linked to the South China Seafood Wholesale Market which has been closed ever since.

Thousands of cases have been reported by health officials in China. There are also cases that have been identified in other countries, mostly spread by the people traveling out of China, including Chinese people or the people returning from China to their respective countries. The virus can spread from one person to another through contact or even just being in the proximity of the infected person.

More then 80% of Americans are under stay at home orders. What do you do during your time at home? Many are still working, watching and teaching their children, and managing the house. It is a time of uncertainty, anxiety, anger, depression, and fear.

To battle these issues, try walking around your house and notice anything that has been bothering you but you just did not have time to ever get it done. Make a list and when you are taking a break from teaching and working, try to accomplish 1 of those tasks.
