Like many of you, I spend a lot of time thinking about COVID-19. I go to work and read the latest updates and try to find ways to get through my day in one piece. I also think a lot about what it’s like for someone who doesn’t work at the Health Unit who has to navigate through the abundance of information on their own. Who has the virus? Where is it? What does that mean for me? Can I go outside? Can my neighbour? These are some of the questions I imagine are running through your head.
