It's been 7 months... and winter is looming. Mental health issues related to our lockdown and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression and other mental health challenges. The relapse and overdose rate has increased by 30% since March 2020. CMHA, The Canadian Mental Health Association, has a 24-hour helpline: 1-833 456-4566. Now, I’m asking my small corner of FB to follow suit: Could any two of my Facebook friends just copy and repost to share the helpline far and wide?

This is the best advice I have read in a long time! Dr Bonnie Henry is the head medical officer for BC and has helped to bring down the virus in the province , ...her advice below is worth noting She has been working with viruses for 20 years. Below are Dr.. Bonnie Henry's Notes to all of us 1. We may have to live with C19 for months or years. Let's not deny it or panic. Let's not make our lives useless. Let's learn to live with this fact. 2. You can't destroy C19 viruses that have penetrated cell walls, by drinking gallons of hot water - you'll just go to the bathroom more often. 3. Washing hands and maintaining a two-metre physical distance is the best method for your protection. 4. If you don't have a C19 patient at home, there's no need to disinfect the surfaces at your house. 5. Packaged cargo, gas pumps, shopping carts and ATMs do not cause infection. If you wash your hands, live your life as usual. 6. C19 is not a food infection. It is associated with drops of infection like the 'flu. There is no demonstrated risk that C19 is transmitted by food. 7. You can lose your sense of smell with a lot of allergies and viral infections. This is only a non-specific symptom of C19. 8. Once at home, you don't need to change your clothes urgently and go shower! Purity is a virtue, paranoia is not! 9. The C19 virus doesn't hang in the air for long. This is a respiratory droplet infection that requires close contact. 10. The air is clean, you can walk through the gardens and through parks (just keeping your physical protection distance). 11. It is sufficient to use normal soap against C19, not antibacterial soap. This is a virus, not a bacteria. 12. You don't have to worry about your food orders. But you can heat it all up in the microwave, if you wish. 13. The chances of bringing C19 home with your shoes is like being struck by lightning twice in a day. I've been working against viruses for 20 years drop infections don't spread like that! 14. You can't be protected from the virus by taking vinegar, sugarcane juice and ginger! These are for immunity not a cure. 15. Wearing a mask for long periods interferes with your breathing and oxygen levels. Wear it only in crowds. 16. Wearing gloves is also a bad idea; the virus can accumulate into the glove and be easily transmitted if you touch your face. 17. Better just to wash your hands regularly. Immunity is greatly weakened by always staying in a sterile environment. 18. Even if you eat immune boosting foods, please go out of your house regularly to any park/beach. 19. Immunity is increased by EXPOSURE TO PATHOGENS, not by sitting at home and consuming fried/ spicy/sugary food and aerated drinks. Be smart and stay informed! Live life sensibly and to the fullest. Be Kind Be Calm and Be Safe Dr Bonnie Henry This makes a great deal of sense.
