Kindness is a big healer of fear.
Yesterday I decided to go out and buy some hand sanitary products. I attend a lot of community meetings on many levels, I was thinking it might be a good idea to buy some extra sanitary products to share. I was disappointed to find that Fred Meyers, Bartell Drugs and Amazon were sold out of hands sanitary products. Obviously the news the last few weeks has put a lot of fear in people and there was a run on these products. I can only hope that it was companies buying these products for their employees versus individuals stockpiling.
We are in a serious situation but too much fear can make people overreact.
Don’t panic buy and don’t hoard!
Remember the best advice is from the World Organization of Health:
- Stay at least 6ft away from obviously sick people.
- Wash your hands for 20 seconds & more frequently than you do now.
- Try not to touch your face.
Be helpful to your senior neighbors who are the most vulnerable. Talk to them and see if they might need help.
Here is a simple local website info: https://publichealthinsider.com/2020/02/24/what-happens-if-the-novel-coronavirus-covid-19-spreads-here-a-conversation-with-our-health-officer/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
Also anytime there is a shortage of items, manufacturers of the products will double the price. This is totally unnecessary but here is the recipe to make your own hand sanitizer product.
Please share with family and friends.
Kindness is big healer of fear.
