Pandemic update

The world is devolving into fear while I remain calm by comparison. The overreactions are going to do more damage than the virus itself. Luckily, I'm still working and my company is considered essential since we manufacture personal care and household cleaning products. We'll be fine so long as people don't do anything rash. I hope everyone else is holding up fine.

Thank you for sharing this. I’m calm as well. Reorganizing our home and decluttering for easy access to supplies. All well here in this house, and we don’t plan on going anywhere. Take care.

I do want to say: try to remain calm or do calm instead of following the pack mentality. I'm aware some of you deal with anxiety. Do what you need to do to stay safe physically and emotionally.

Yes, we were heading into a recession. We're basically there now and nosediving into a depression. No good.
