Dear Daniel:

You are a courageous man to be helping doctors in a hospital, you are one of the people I refer to as Pandemic Heroes!

“Now the situation seems to be under control but for how long?”- I think it will get better, and in a few months the current health scare will be over, as long as social distancing does continue and people are socially responsible. We all have to be very cautious.

You may have Coronavirus, and I may have it too, because I’ve been in contact with a person who had contact with lots of students until a few days ago.  Can you get tested soon, being you work in a hospital? In the meantime, do keep social distancing with your family members, make that happen. And remember, lots of people who tested positive, who are not elderly and who do not suffer from pre-existing conditions, did not become severely ill.

In the US, everything is closed, first time in my life, except for national parks that are open and you can go there with no charge, if I understand correctly, because big parks are not overcrowded and there is plenty of distance between people, way beyond the recommended.

“I really want this to end and getting back to normal”- remember that normal wasn’t that great. Better get to a new normal, better mental well being than you had before. Post here anytime, type away your distress right here, and you will see, this pandemic will be over.

I am so impressed with you, Pandemic Hero!
