How to Cope with the Coronavirus

-

Here are some ideas for coping with the coronavirus as we get through this pandemic.

Stay informed but limit the time you spend to an hour or so per day.

Make use of credible sources such as the World Health Organization’s (WHO) website. It is important to ensure that you are getting information that is neither alarmist nor minimizing.

Wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands. Wash them for 20 seconds, or the time it takes to sing “Happy birthday” twice. Make sure you wash the backs of your hands and between your fingers.

Don’t touch your face. This is the tough one. Have you noticed how often we touch our faces? It is an unconscious habit. The key is to make yourself aware of the habit. There are a couple of strategies. You can keep your hands busy so that you are less likely to touch your face.

Try doodling, knitting, fiddling with a rubber band or other activity that occupies your hands or you can try mindful focus on your face and/or your hands. With this strategy, focus entirely on the sensations on your face.

Notice any breeze, temperature, your hair touching your face. Notice without judging or responding, just notice.

Remember, we’ve been through this before, this is not new or unprecedented. In the past decades, we’ve had Ebola, SARS, H1N1 and HIV.  As I think back on all of these pandemics, panic and misinformation were always problematic, while sensible caution and thoughtful response effectively got us through each event.

Limit you physical contact with others, particularly in public places. Stay six feet away from people as much as possible. particularly if someone is coughing. Use waves instead of handshakes.

Remember that the cold and flu are far more prevalent than coronavirus.

Don’t immediately assume the worst when you have symptoms.

Buy a thermometer so you can check for fever. A high fever can help distinguish between a cold and a coronavirus.

 If you think you have coronavirus, call your doctor for instructions. Don’t rush to the emergency room where you may just infect more people. Do not go to work if you are sick.
