I honestly feel like this is a no-brainer, but I also understand how anxiety about the virus can cause us to seek out solutions and remedies. The short story is there’s nothing you can do but live your best life and follow best social distancing and hygiene practices.

This thread is as much to reassure myself as it is to reassure whoever may come across it. Breathe.
