I make it a point to wash my hands as often as possible these days. I also make a conscious effort to avoid touching my face. Social distancing means reducing physical contact with other people. But depending on where you are, you might be able to still head out and get some Sun and fresh air.

Hi my friend,

I see that you apply the most important measures to fight against the virus. I live in Switzerland and we are strongly hit by the virus with one of the highest density of cases in the world. What I can tell you is that to fight against the virus speed is of essence. The faster people stay indoors and don't meet with other people anymore, the quicker we will get rid of it.

I'm staying indoor as much as possible with my family and we try to shop online to get food and essential goods. When I go out, I try to stay away from everybody. The virus is often underestimated but it is terrible. Kids are quite safe not to die from it but they can carry the virus. Most people don't realize that they actually carry the virus and they infect others without realizing.

I know somebody who simply had a slight cough. She infected her whole family, 2 doctors and is now dead. The best way to deal with this virus is to believe that you yourself might carry it and not to try to infect others.

All the best,

Achim
