So far 2020 has come with lots of concerns going on, the Corono Virus being the big one, th virus is spreading to the world and pretty much chaos reign, not quite yet but getting there.

 

It’s all fun and games until someone close to you get it. Famous actors and athletes have tested positive. Concerts, festivals, the NBA season, my beloved soccer league and theme parks have been suspended in the name of public welfare.

I really just hope it goes fast, once in a while this happens, a seasonal virus, back in 2016 I was pregnant with my daughter, and went to visit family in Colombia , at the time there was the Zika Virus going around, so upon my return as part of the prenatal care I had to be tested for Zika even though I didn’t get sick other than the occasional cold.  It went well, no virus detected and we could all breathe.

however this corona V turned sour pretty fast and everyone is concerned about, washing their hands and doing what it takes not to get it. I just hope it works and we all survive. Hopefully we will.

I’ve been getting my up-to-the-minute news from Twitter, I read the serious, the fun and not-so-fun,  opinions, memes, and updates from government agencies. That’s how I found out that Tom Hanks, a national treasure and wife Rita Wilson and I even though I don’t know him personally, I feel for him and his family.

I read and chat with friends about their reactions. Anxiety is going around, some people thing that everyone is over reacting. I personally think you can never be too careful. In the meant time I used my anxiety coping mechanism, I read, for fun, I meditate five ten minutes here and then, and pray. I also go for walks and exercise, however exercise may feel like a chore and it’s in my days to do list, it helps though.

So what does everybody do to keep their anxiety at bay in the times of Corona ?

In the mean time wash your hands, and take care of yourself and your loved ones.
