So, MYC Mayor Bill de Blasio tells CNN: “This is going to be the greatest crisis domestically since the Great Depression. This is why we need a full-scale mobilization of the American military.”

If this statement doesn't scare the living shit out of you, then you might as well fucking move to China or Russia.

This comment is not based on facts and is irresponsible. Feeds into hysteria and fear which can lead to people making bad decisions. We have a few "hot spots" in the country that need immediate support, however we also have many states with minimal cases.

G: Get Outside. While practicing social distancing the more we can get fresh air the better.

O: One thing at a time. Things are moving very fast these days, remember to focus
only on what you are doing and do one thing at a time.

B: Be kind. Reach out to those around you who might be feeling isolated. Being kind to others actually adds to our own positive mental health.

U: Utilize mental health professionals. Speaking to mental health professional can provide the additional support necessary during this time of uncertainty.

C: Control what you can control. Make a list of things you can control in your life and things that you cannot control. For example you cannot control the virus and what is shared on the news about the virus, but you can control washing your hands and the amount of time you watch the news.

K: Kick the habit. Use this time to start a new healthy habit to replace a habit that may not be adding to your mental health and wellness.

E: Encourage yourself. How you speak to yourself during this stressful time is very important. Practice self-compassion and positive self-talk (e.g., “I am stressed right now. Of course I am stressed and I know that I am trying my best to deal with this situation”).

Y: You time. Take time to take care of yourself. Exercise, meditation, yoga are all examples of positive self-care activities that lead to decreased stress and increased wellness.

E: Eat healthy. In times of stress we can lose our appetite or our appetite can increase for salty foods or foods high in saturated fat. Try to maintain a balanced diet. This can increase your sense of well-being.

S: Stick to a routine. If you are working from home, or taking classes at home, get up and get dressed just like you would be going to your respective sites. This will send a message that today is a day where I will be productive. Also, having a schedule and a routine will lead to a sense of normalcy and structure, two factors that can decrease anxiety in an uncertain time.

De Blasio is an idiot. I don't have the time to fully explain the stupidity he has demonstrated throughout the entirety of this pandemic. I'm guessing he gets his knowledge of the military from movies and tv shows.

I don't know enough about it to have a good answer but I wonder; what is so wrong with the Republican and Democratic Party machines that they have produced such an overwhelming number of such underwhelming human beings to fill our various leadership roles?

People would be a lot better off if a lot of elected officials would simply stop talking. They aren't showing leadership and inspiring people. They aren't even effectively communicating facts. They are just making loud, stupid, often scary, noises.

Hopefully, when this passes, we have all seen how dangerous it is to let the party machines run amok and start holding them accountable for the quality of the candidates. Not sure if that's possible but it should be.
