How to Manage Yourself Through a Pandemic

You may appreciate this British submarine captain's advice on social isolation here.

1. Have & stick to a routine - get some daylight
2. Be sure to keep up your cleaning standards & take care of yourself
3. Give yourself down time - turn off the news! ((avoid negative rumination)
4. Quickly deescalate conflict with cohabitants
5. Communicate - ie talk to each other (avoid detachment)
