Inauguration tensions are up and spread of infection concerns the nation. Watching numbers in my area, the seem to be going down, the positivity rate was heading toward 12% and is now down below 10%. On tv all the channels are crying "total disaster!" and none of this has made sense from the very beginning. First, there was division over mask mandates and I think next, it will be about the vaccine. We are all just doing the best we can with the information we have in front of us at the time. This is what I always tell my patients when they are frustrated with the answers they get from their providers that sometimes lead nowhere.
The best thing we can do is wake up each day and tell the people closest to us that we love them. Wash your hands often (pandemic or not), routinely, but not obsessively. Stop it with the hand sanitizer already. Say a little prayer each day and take a few minutes to reflect. Reflect for the people who didn't make it out this year. Be kind, sympathetic, and set an example for peace. No matter who is president, we have the choice to unite and be the wonderful country loved so much by the people who reside here. Ultimately, we are all fighting for the same thing and it's not easy. How are you coping?
