May 24, 2020 – Covid-19

Today Ontario reported 460 new confirmed cases of Covid-19.

Just as Ontario declared they were entering phase 1 of opening up, the numbers are climbing back up. What is this going to end up looking like? I guess we will wait and see. I myself have seen people disregarding the rules. Could this be a contributing factor?

It is hard staying away from family and loved ones. We want to see our friends, the weather is getting nicer. Is it worth the risk? I don’t think it is and I worry about my family and friends. There are people who do believe it’s worth it though, it all depends on what you believe.

Take a look at social media and you will find:

-some who believe we will be okay if we wear a mask

-some who believe a mask won’t protect you

-some who think that as long as you stay outside you will be okay. (drive way beers)

-some who don’t believe that this pandemic is a threat

– some who feel we need to adhere to stricter rules

-some that think we are opening up too soon

-some who think we should already be fully open.

We need to remember that nobody has the answers. None of us have had to deal with a pandemic of this nature before. We can only do what we believe we should be doing. I wrote before about the circle of control and knowing what we can and cannot control. We cannot control this pandemic or how others react to it. We can control our own environment and how we react. We need to stop getting so upset about what others are doing or not doing and focus on our own circle. I know it’s hard. Have gratitude, love, and safety on your own beliefs and stay peaceful and happy.

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy,
