CORONAVIRUS

3/5/2020

 
More than 90,000 cases of the highly contagious new coronavirus, which results in the disease known as COVID-19, have been confirmed, and panicked people are stocking up on supplies like hand sanitizer and face masks.

By now, hopefully you know the importance of properly and frequently washing your hands, and have likely been told ad nauseam not to touch your face. But before you get too worried, it's worth noting that there are a bunch of myths associated with the virus as well. If you're still especially concerned about the spread of germs, there is another simple preventative measure you can take: Stop making unnecessary physical contact with others.

Next time you go in to shake an acquaintance's hand, kiss a pal on the cheek, or greet someone with a friendly hug, don't! Instead, try using one of these 14 greetings that don't require any touching. And remember, pandemic or no pandemic, some people simply don't like to be touched, so feel free to say no to a handshake or physical greeting at any point time.

Invested 2 hours per week for twelve weeks learning more about mental health and taming anxiety.

"Right now, of the more than 6.7 million Canadians living with a mental illness—including children and young adults—too many experience long wait times for treatment, turn to emergency rooms or shelters, or worse, end up in the criminal justice system.

What’s more, far too many Canadians suffer in silence because of fear, stigma, or the mistaken belief that mental illness isn’t treatable.

As a society, we are failing our family, friends and neighbours when it comes to mental health care—we can’t afford to wait any longer to close the mental health care gap in every province and territory."
