Coronavirus Quarantine
Right now, in the United States and in several other hard-hit countries, millions of people are stuck at home by government mandate or by choice as they hope to curb the spread of the CoVid-19 pandemic.
Many of us have never experienced being isolated due to health safety reasons in our lifetime — this is something we’ve only seen in the movies.
But now is the time to slow down, take stock of what is important, and be productive!
