Now is the time to remain calm, stay present, and prepare for the family getting sick, and progressive work, school, and event closures. This is a time to consider the health of the greater good, not just ourselves. During times of chaos, it is very important to connect to nature. This grounds us and calms our fears. Take the family on a walk and look at the beautiful world, trees, and blue skies around us. Plant a garden if you are working from home and schools are cancelled. Think positive and of beauty, truth, and goodness and show these qualities to your children. Michael Allen, MD
