Dummy's guide to survive #Covid19 quarantine, stay at home, shelter in place

We, in Italy, are in day 9 of our Covid19 lockdown......

As the rest of the world, slowly but surely, is going into lockdown, here are some tips which are making my quarantine, staying at home or "shelter in place" experience more pleasant and is helping me to keep my sanity.

I hope you find them useful.....

Tip 1 - Tune in to the news twice a day

Tip 2 - Create your virtual socializing moments.
We, in Italy, have two daily distant socializing moments:
12pm - we thank the doctors, nurses and other service provides by clapping
6pm - we go out on our balconies, play music and sing

Tip 3 -   Continue your physical activities.  I am doing virtual yoga via Skype and it is great fun

Tip 4 - Call your friends and family. Spread kindness, especially to those who live alone and do not have anyone. This is not the time to adopt the mantra, out of sight, out of mind

Tip 5 - For those smart working, use what was your commute time to do something for yourselves. Make sure you create your coffee and lunch moments with colleagues and check in on your colleagues

Tip 6 - Follow the directives of your local authorities to the letter. Stay at home.

Tip 7 - Use your "extra time" to master your hobby

Tip 8 - Share the jokes, mimes and other entertaining content that comes your way. Remember laughter is a great medicine. Studies show that laughter strengthens our immune system, gives a boost to our mood and protects us from stress.

Tip 9 - Spread positive messages and remember:

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

WE SHALL OVERCOME

WE SHALL SURVIVE

AND WE'LL BE THE CHAMPIONS


When all this madness is over, remember:

NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED

ENJOY EVERY  MINUTE OF YOUR LIFE

DO NOT DEFER THINGS TO TOMORROW, DO IT TODAY!!!!
