Stay Calm and Buy Toilet Paper (if you can)

3/15/2020

     I checked at four stores for toilet paper and found nothing but empty shelves and folks with glazed eyes throwing anything they could into their carts to give them a sense of control during this coronavirus pandemic.     
     One man was stocking up on water in case the plumbing to his home failed. Have we all gone cuckoo?
    
     Social distancing is good to flatten the curve of the spread of this pathogen, but we’ve got to flatten the curve of craziness, too. We need to stay calm. And even as we isolate, we must make sure our neighbors are okay, even if that means sharing some squares of our precious toilet paper.
    
     So if someone comes to mind, I’m asking myself whether this is a God-prompt to call, email, or text them. And if I feel lonely, someone else probably does, too. Who might I reach out to?

     Perhaps President Franklin Roosevelt’s admonition to Americans during the Great Depression is fitting: “…the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”     
​     Coronavirus isn’t the only bug that can steal our health. Fear can, too.
