Our thoughts and best wishes go out to Everyone effected in any way by the recent Corona Virus outbreak.
Bringing extra attention to our own personal sanitation can help contain the spread. This is especially true with taking time to REALLY wash hands well which... like brushing teeth, it is so often rushed and therefor less effective. So take your time to wash your hands regularly and well. Even as we are more respectfully isolated these days we are all in this together. Gracefully managing our own self care while respecting our impact on others can help us all manage this situation more comfortably.
We are all still learning about this new virus and how it applies to you. We advise you to go straight to the World Health Organization (WHO) and CDC for the latest advice:

While we all deal with minimising the impact of the current situation we look forward to how we can cope with and prevent future pandemics. Thank You to Alanna Shaikh for sharing your insights on this. At Priceless Vitality we also believe that we need to prioritise and deliver global Universal Healthcare coverage with international, unbiased and transparent collaboration on disease control. Leaving anyone without the ability to access healthcare hurts us all in the long term. It is a huge undertaking though I hope from this challenge we can grow an urgent investment in all peoples long term wellbeing.
In addition to healthcare, reserves, research and transparency much of the stress caused by this situation is financial. This is why we also support a holistically supported UBI program to guarantee a base income, training and support networks to help people not only to survive but thrive and be free to make uniquely meaningful contributions to our society. This is going to be needed anyway, not only for future potential pandemics but also as further automation revolutionises the way our economy functions.
