Journey through Covid-19

17 April 2020 Coping with Circuit Breaker Stay-at-Home Measures Suddenly, we are seeing our family members almost 24/7 since we are staying at home during this period of Circuit Breaker. The barrage of bad news on Covid-19 coronavirus and many posts from our friends on WhatsApp could easily get us down. The threat of extension of Circuit Breaker adds to our worries. We can become irritable and get frustrated easily with minor incidents. Lashing out at our loved ones is easy during this period of being cooped up in our homes.

This is the last thing we want to do and make a relationship uncomfortable with more than two weeks to go in this Circuit Breaker.

So spare a thought for our loved ones and be more accommodating. Accept that things will not be perfect. Say “Thank You” more often. Say: “Thank You for getting Da Bao lunch for us”. Say: “What a good dinner you have prepared”. Appreciate them more because they too are affected by daily bad news of Covid-19, just like me.
