  1. Cortisol levels are on overdrive for everyone. People need to reach out and help each other. This is a time unlike any other. A suggestion is to remember the Golden Rule . We are in this together.

  2. I feel like those numbers are misleading. Depression, anxiety, and ptsd are unfortunately quite common in the American public. Studies have even pointed out that 20% of people who watch death videos (like isis propaganda) on social media experience ptsd.

  3. Paying health care workers better will not solve the mental health issues, but I think is still a moral imperative. And I mean primarily those who work in hard, low paying jobs, not the people high up in the hierarchy.
