While I’m glad we are flattening the curve, I think we still need to continue to do social distancing and taking precautions. Flattening the curve does not mean the virus is gone. It just means the number of confirmed cases and deaths is lessening. I’m afraid if we stop social distancing and taking precautions, the curve will go back up.
This is something we need to impress upon our students. We shouldn’t take risks with our health. Once our health is compromised, it may be hard for our bodies to rebound. We may never be back to the shape we were in before so why take a chance.
Even if the economy opens up, we will continue to avoid crowds of people and wear our gloves and masks when we go shopping.
Maybe after a few weeks, when we don’t see the curve going back up, we may go to restaurants again but not right away.
I will look forward to going camping again. I think we can go camping and hiking without endangering our health because we will be in the open outdoors. Being in nature is also very healing.
Even after this crisis, we need to continue to impress upon our students about taking good care of their health. It would be a good time to talk about having some supplies on hand in case this happens again in the future. It is easier to get supplies when they aren’t in demand. It is also important to continue to take extra time with personal hygiene.
Another habit to continue is to eat healthily and get plenty of exercise. If your body is strong and healthy it is more resistant to diseases and your immunity is better at fighting anything that comes your way.
What other suggestions as we get near the end of the crisis tunnel? Please share.
