In the face of extended uncertainty and lack of the truth being told to us, some folks can get a bit stressed out. By reaching out when you get that nudge or "sharing a little support" i.e. you're own groundedness, simple preparations ("hey, a little rice and water can go a long way, right?") and reminders, you may lessen the fright, the shock, and or the "madness" that some folks might tend towards. Keep it conservative/real, especially for those who are not inclined to "think for themselves" much - you know the sort - sometimes a few simple words like "we'll be right, we're Aussies, and we will pull through this together, like we always have" can be enough to lighten the load. May be confirm that they have your phone number in their mobile - could make all the difference to their sanity, and if they have a family at home, this might mean a meaningful difference to their family. Keep a disposable mask prominently displayed in your shirt pocket or around your neck, not only so you can use it if needed at a moment's notice, but to remind one another that we should look out for each other, that perhaps we ought take our duty of care "responsibility to one another" seriously - and a mask let's people know you're thinking of them, not just yourself! We do not whow how this virus might mutate into something much worse - this is the big scientific difficulty with viruses, they can mutate on a cycle of a few weeks, making any vaccine from even 6 months ago, less than useful (vaccines are often not harmless, even when they are ineffective). So let's continue to give our best to each other, look out for each other, this is just another journey. Stay safe, be prepared, and do what your gut tells you is prudent, moment by moment. If you pray, then pray; if you meditate or contemplate, do that. Good luck and may God's will prevail, Zen ----- Forwarded message from Leo <sales@grainmills.com.au> ----- From: Leo <sales@grainmills.com.au> To: undisclosed-recipients: ; Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2020 08:27:41 +1000 Subject: Fwd: Fw: Interesting User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/68.10.0 *Sent:* Monday, 20 July 2020 11:28 AM *Subject:* Interesting Sent from my iPad -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com ----- End forwarded message -----
