Isolate, but don't be isolated.

Be Kind to Yourself and Others. 

“Be kind wherever possible. It is always possible”

We are all operating with a low (or high!) level of anxiety and stress. This means our thinking can be clouded, we might be forgetting things and on a very short fuse.

Now is the time to focus on what makes life worth living.
