What is social distancing

Social distancing is a set of nonpharmaceutical infection control actions intended to stop or slow down the spread of a contagious disease.

"Many cities undertook just these measures over 100 years ago to blunt the impact of the 1918 influenza pandemic. Those that acted swiftly and decisively were rewarded with fewer cases and a lower peak of cases, relieving the demand for medical care."

Why social distancing matters

Avoid exposure, avoid spreading. There are not enough tests and we don't have an accurate idea of who has it / who doesn't, The only way to prevent overwhelm is to reduce chance of exposure altogether.

Basic rules to follow

Important notes to consider

1. It's more important than ever now to stay connected with people. Distance does not have to mean isolation.

2. Do not choose to be ignorant here. Yes, there is a lot of hype and nonsense in the media. No, the world probably isn't ending. No you don't need to stock up on 12 years worth of toilet paper. No, your armageddon bunker is probably not necessary. No, this isn't going to turn into the Walking Dead. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be informed and act based on that information. Learn what you need to learn and don't be stupid. This doesn't get solved if we don't take it seriously.

This can very quickly turn into a situation like what Italy is currently facing where the country is shut down, and doctors are being forced to decide who lives and who dies based on chances of survival. Or it can be brought under control by giving our medical experts the time they need to find a more concrete solution.

In today's episode, we talk about why the past discussion on the past, the present and the future.

In this episode we are looking at some easy ways to make sure you learn something new every single day. In my opinion this is something that is a requirement for personal growth and development. As many of us get older, as we graduate school and move into the workforce and maybe start families, one mistake we make is we often put learning on the back burner. Here are simple ways to change that.

In this episode we are looking at the topic of failure. A failure is such a major part of our growth and so many people hold themselves back because of that failure. They hold themselves back because they are holding onto the past, or the fear of future failures to come. But failure is important, and not failing can actually be holding you back.
