Perhaps many people are feeling the strain and anxiety due to Covid-19; however, we can take a moment during the quarantine to reassess the things that are essential and indispensable in our lives. We are indebted to the doctors, nurses, and medical staff’s commitment along with the many others who are working to keep our lifelines open. The realization that we are dependent on each other is a source of strength. We need to continue to take care, but with our mutual support, we will get through this pandemic together.
