Self-isolation is a necessity. Avoiding the public is all that is required to do away with a species-threatening disease. Thus, when in quarantine, we must not let ‘loneliness’ or the inability to go out hamper our morale. Darren Till’s video and the comments that it received shows us that no one is alone.
Thankfully, we live in an age where everyone is connected at all times. Even then, a period of 14 days should not be able to best us.
We must positively avoid negativity. Our thoughts influence our health. Thus, let’s not think of quarantine as a punishment, and instead accept it for what it truly is. A much-required break. Businesses will boom again, education will resume and life will definitely resume to normalcy.

Meanwhile, let’s not shy away from humor. As the age-old saying goes, “laughter is the best medicine.” While we must absorb the seriousness that the problem poses, we should also be strong enough to battle it and not let it get to our heads.
After all, we still do have a great sporting season to look forward to!
