A world of chaos and uncertainty 🌍

Evening all.

This blog was something I've wanted to do for a while - but never really had the chance to build it. Today I thought - what better time then the present. 

I figured my first post should touch on something we are all dealing with right now - in one way or another. COVID19.

I personally have been on self-isolation for a few days now (I am not sick but had been in contact with someone who had family visit from outside of the country). It is not a fun time, break from work or a vacation - but it has allowed me to reflect on life a little bit, and what’s going on in our world.

My heart goes out to anyone personally impacted by this COVID19 - whether it be a family member, friend or yourself. My prayers are with you. 

For the doctors, the nurses, the paramedics and all other essential service providers - the people that can’t stay home - thank you for doing what you do and braving this storm and helping care of us Canadians, and people around the world. You are the real heroes. ✰

As for the rest of us - the ones layed off due to businesses closing, people on isolation and everyone else in between -  let’s do our part in making sure that as few people as possible have to experience COVID19.

We need to take a time out.

Stay Home. Binge watch Netflix or try out Crave. Do a puzzle or knit a damn blanket. Start a blog! This isn’t about you anymore, it’s about protecting the vulnerable and ensuring that this virus doesn’t spread any further than it has already.

The times are tough now and they are going to get worse before they get better. And if we are going to give ourselves a fighting chance, it has to start with change. With us.

Feel free to share in the comments what ideas you’ve come up with occupied while at home.

@lagosstategovt CORONAVIRUS: LASG TO SHUT DOWN SCHOOLS As part of the preventive measures against the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic, the Lagos State Government is closing down all public and private schools from Monday, 23rd March 2020. The move becomes necessary to prevent our children and their teachers from getting more vulnerable to the pandemic. It is important for parents to ensure that their children practise ‘social distancing’ while at home, wash their hands regularly or use hand sanitizers and observe high standards of personal hygiene. Children should be encouraged to remain at home. The closure is not intended to create panic but to arrest the spread of the disease, which has become a global threat. The Incident Command Centre, headed by the Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who is the Incident Commander, will continue to trace all contacts of the identified cases and encourage anyone who has information about suspected cases to report to the nearest hospital or call the emergency telephone numbers 08023169485, 08033565529, 08052817243 and 08023401214. @lagoshealth @profakinabayomi @g.omotoso @drobafemihamzat @jidesanwoolu . . . #preventingcoronavirus #COVID19Lagos #ForAGreaterLagos #LASG #belinberryblog #coronavirusnews #coronavirus #Covid19 https://www.instagram.com/p/B951TXNn93e/?igshid=1mg16bpcbe5as

COVID-19 is still affecting mostly people in China with some outbreaks in other countries. Most people who become infected experience mild illness and recover, but it can be more severe for others. Take care of your health and protect others by doing the following: -Wash your hands frequently. - Maintain social distancing. - Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. - Practice respiratory hygiene. - If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early. - Stay informed and follow advice given by your healthcare provider. #preventingcoronavirus #ncov2019 #gelmek #healthcare #pharma (at Ahmedabad, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ZIzQqhLVe/?igshid=1aasy25mjdvqw
