It’s okay to take a day off pandemic.

Remember to turn on your email “Out of Pandemic” auto reply.

For friends and family, just rotate through the usual answers:
- Lysol is poisonous
- Don’t listen to that/those fool(s)
- Look it up and tell me what you find. Tomorrow.
- Ignore those idiots

Get out and get some fresh air. If this is illegal in your area, still do it just don’t get caught.

Try to go the whole day without saying
- shocking
- concerning
- worrisome
- devastating

Instead seek to use these words:
- peaceful
- balanced
- reasonable
- centered
- rooted

Pandemic does not need your constant attention. It is an adult pandemic and can take care of itself without your supervision.

It is likely to continue along the way he has been going, fairly predictably.

You have a good sense of the trajectory. You know where you can likely find it tomorrow, going the current direction and speed.

No need to check up minute by minute. There is nothing new to learn. We are waiting for a couple of big studies. In between, more anecdotes are merely anecdotal.

The work will be there too when you get back. You know the drill. Your habits are already good. No need to worry and prepare. You’ve been doing this. You got this.
