The current situation with COVID-19 is quite difficult for a lot of us, especially those who have been suffering from chronic disease, as there has already been a lot of social isolation and this adds to it. However if we tread the middle path between hysteria and blissful ignorance, and keep up our self-care practices, and practice a lot of self reassurance, we can move forward from day to day and get through. Sometimes some surprising positive experiences can occur during these times of hardship too.
