As the height of the worldwide health crisis continues to evolve, by the day. People are having feelings of confusion, fear, sadness, uncertainty, and more.
Many people are in lockdown to try to slow down the spread of the virus by staying inside. You might have more time to spare by reading a book, taking a walk, watching a webinar, etc.
The death rates are rising each day. In the United States, alone there are 115, 976 cases (as of 3/28/20).
Now that people's lives are turning upside down by this pandemic, we now have to adjust to this new normal.
This may be a difficult time for you, so I will list several resources below to hopefully maintain your sanity during this time.
Pandemic Journal: Sanity & Strategies
Fun Activities for Trying Times
5 Tasks When You're Stuck At Home
Grounding Exercise For a New Reality
Taking Time To Care Our Own
6 Things To Do While You Are Social Distancing
Many genealogical events and conferences across the U.S. have been canceled or postponed. For example, a week or two ago, FamilySearch made an announcement that Rootstech London will be postponed until 2021.
The event coordinator(s) or board will need to refund money to attendees. This will take a long time to do.
Instead of canceling, some genealogical societies have turned to virtual webinars and meetings, with Zoom and GotoWebinar. The Massucheutts Genealogical Council originally were suppose to have a conference, but despite the pandemic, they transferred into a seminar.
I heard that DearMyrtle and Cousin Russ will be willing to help any genealogical society transfer into a virtual platform.
Another genealogist named Kathryn Lake Hogan, posted a video yesterday saying that she can fill in to be a monthly speaker for societies and she will be willing to do it for free.
DearMyrtle made a blog post for those who have a sewing machine can make face masks and donate them to their local Joann's store, which will be sent to a local hospital.
