I have been following you and it 51 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 4: has been so helpful for me. I am so grateful 52 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 4: for your time to help answer the questions that have 53 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 4: been coming at me that I am certainly not qualified 54 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 4: to help with. 55 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: I'm just appreciated to have more people talk to me 56 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 2: about the facts, So thank you. 57 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 4: Of course. So first off, let's talk about the basics. 58 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 4: Talk to me about what the symptoms for coronavirus are 59 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 4: and how it spreads. 60 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, great question. 61 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 2: So a lot of people, first off, many of us 62 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 2: had the last time we sat in a biology class 63 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 2: was like in high school. So a lot of times 64 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: I think we look at this and we're trying to 65 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: remember all these details that we remember from our initial classes, 66 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: but it may not be effective or appropriate situation. 67 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: So first off is that the COVID nineteen. 68 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: Virus, also known as the coronavirus, is a specific type 69 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: of virus that belongs to a family of virus. That 70 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: family includes viruses like the STARS virus, which was involved 71 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: in the Operation two thousand and three, as well as MERGED, 72 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: which is a Middle East respiratory syndrome, which is a 73 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: relatively rare virus that is mostly not really that noticeable 74 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: in the United States in terms of. 75 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: The amount of people that have had it. 76 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: The COVID nineteen virus specifically is new because it has 77 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 2: not been isolated in human species. There's a lot of 78 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: research about where it came from, and the most founded 79 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: one is that it's basically is a zoomotic virus, meaning 80 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: that it originated from animals, and what they postulate is 81 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: that most likely it came from that and had transferred 82 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: over to humans. 83 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: Now, the biggest. 84 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: Question is like, how does that even happen. As a 85 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 2: virus is transferring from one host to another, it's DNA mutants, 86 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 2: and sometimes that mutation can allow it to be successible 87 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 2: to another species, which unfortunately is human. So what we 88 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: found is that that virus has crossed over that likely 89 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 2: happened last year and now has led to the current pandemic. 90 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: The virus is like the other virus is within its 91 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: family a respiratory virus, or it causes respiratory symptoms like fever, 92 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 2: call shortness of breast, and unfortunately this can progress to 93 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: a pneumonia and in a very few cases well sadly 94 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: now many cases that can progress with death. 95 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 4: Now, who is at the highest risk for coronavirus? 96 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: So, right now, although we have a historical research from 97 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: similar viruses like coronavirus. 98 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 2: We really are looking at the data from China and 99 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: what we found is that anyone over sixty years old 100 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: has a significantly increased risk of a severe harm from 101 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 2: this virus, specifically patients who are over eighty. With that 102 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 2: being said, patients who are also immune compromise with any age, 103 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: and we always try to include prigant patients inside that 104 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 2: group as well, because they're naturally at an immunosuppressed state 105 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: and they're at higher risk than others. 106 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 4: Now, the questions coming in from the followers, can I 107 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 4: have coronavirus and not know it? 108 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: Great question? 109 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Right now, we're noticing that people are transmitting this virus, 110 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: and what we try to preach specifically from the hospital 111 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: standpoint is why we need to socially distanced because many 112 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 2: people are walking around with this virus and don't realize 113 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 2: that they have it. A lot of our research people 114 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 2: have to understand it's based off of people whose self 115 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 2: report or present to the hospital. That means that we're 116 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: only really looking at those patients who have severe symptoms. 117 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: But these patients come from somewhere. 118 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: And most likely they're coming from their community where they 119 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: may have been involved or interacting with someone who had 120 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: mild or no symptoms. And those are the people who 121 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 2: are transcending the virus most often commonly and making it 122 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 2: more persistent. 123 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 4: All right, So then the questions come in about exercise. 124 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 4: Can you safely run outside right now? 125 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? 126 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's really important to help people understand 127 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: the answer to that question. When I preach about social distancing, 128 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 2: sometimes it can be confused with social isolation, and I 129 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 2: want to make sure people understand there's a difference. Social 130 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: distancing means that yes, you can definitely still run outside. 131 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: You can run on. 132 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 2: Run on the street, you can run wherever you feel 133 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 2: most come. What we're trying to preach is avoiding large gathering. 134 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 2: So you definitely should not be running in a group. 135 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: If you're running right now, the crucial time that we 136 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: don't want to mix households or family unit. So if 137 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: you're running with a roommate, that is fine because you're 138 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: obviously already in close contact with him, but you really 139 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: shouldn't be in close contact with other people who live 140 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 2: in different spaces because this is how the virus spreads. 141 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 4: Right, So, if you have a run buddy that you 142 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 4: usually run with every Tuesday morning, are you saying skip 143 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 4: the run buddy, No, Honestly. 144 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: I would say just be cognizant of the fact. 145 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: I definitely don't want people to feel I think exercise 146 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 2: is really important, especially for mental health. In the setting 147 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: of social distancing, I just want you to take costs. 148 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: So if you're running with someone from another family unit, 149 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: just make sure that you're like, you know, have an 150 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: established understanding before you go out and say, hey, like, 151 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 2: we're going to follow these guidelines to make sure that 152 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 2: we don't transmit this virus. Let's do our beds not 153 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 2: to interact. Definitely don't touch as best we can. I mean, 154 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 2: you're running, so stay six feet away from each. 155 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 4: Other, right, right, Totally. I actually went out Central Park 156 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 4: over the weekend, and I had a deep appreciation for 157 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 4: the quote unquote groups of people that were all just 158 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 4: standing about six feet apart from one another. 159 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: If people can understand and we'll get into this as 160 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: an emergency doctor, not only is our patients who are 161 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: over eighty at risk, but we are significantly at risk 162 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 2: of breaking down this healthcare structure because we do not 163 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: have the room of capacity to prepare for everyone becoming 164 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: sick around the same time. And now they're coming out 165 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 2: with reports that er physicians are becoming sick and ill. 166 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: And now I'm trying to express the people like, if 167 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 2: you can't imagine how it can be for an old 168 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: person to be sick, just think about talking to me 169 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 2: and think about the risk that I'm putting myself into. 170 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: So it's like infuriating now when I walk outside and 171 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: see brunches packed with people, I can understand it. 172 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean it goes without saying that. I'm 173 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 4: sure so many people are thankful for what it is 174 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 4: that you're doing, and you know the risks that you 175 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 4: incur every single day just by showing up and helping 176 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 4: other people. 177 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: So thank you for that. Thank you. 178 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I appreciate it. I appreciate anyone taking an 179 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,599 Speaker 2: effort to honestly help. 180 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: Increase. 181 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 2: The voice of people can't be heard, and a lot 182 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: of us are working so hard that we don't have 183 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 2: the chance or the modality or the mediums to be 184 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 2: able to communicate. But I'm just grateful for this conversation. 185 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 4: Any idea of how long this will last. 186 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 1: That is a question that's still trying to be answered. 187 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 2: There's a lot of analysts and epidemiologists that are looking 188 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 2: into the timeline. 189 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: A lot of. 190 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 2: People are postulating or thinking that maybe it can be 191 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 2: done at June or July, but it's really still too 192 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: hard to tell. And this is founded on the principle 193 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 2: that we don't have test being available in the emergency room. 194 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 2: I can't even get myself a test. I can only 195 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 2: get testifications who are higher risks, who are being admitted 196 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 2: to the hospital. This means that many people are coming 197 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: in with systems, being discharged and going back into the 198 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: community without a free understanding of. 199 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: Their actual risk and their actual diagnosis. 200 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 2: So with that being said, we don't have the ability 201 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 2: to set a trajectory. We cannot We don't know when 202 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 2: we're going to beat we don't know when it's going 203 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 2: to pop out, and it makes us really hard to 204 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 2: calculate when this. 205 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 4: Will ends, right, And I think it's interesting. I mean, 206 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 4: I went into a store this morning and they had 207 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 4: just received a new shipment of lifestyle and Clorox wipes, 208 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 4: and someone messaged me who works at a hospital, and said, 209 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 4: where is this? We need these supplies like it's literally 210 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 4: no discrimination against where these shortages are happening, and everyone's 211 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 4: just looking for, you know, the basic necessities right now. 212 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 2: People don't understand that even as physicians, we are literally 213 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: rationing out math. I'm talking about every type of math. 214 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 2: We don't have enough math toon. They will not be 215 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: enough loves. They're already limited beds because the hospital people 216 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 2: don't realize that hospitals operate close to capacity at baseline 217 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 2: to any kind of mass casualty incident for a pandemic 218 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: significantly and severely disrupt our flow. 219 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: And people don't get that right. Right. 220 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 4: Well, the next question coming in from the followers, can 221 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 4: my dog or pet get coronavirus and can they spread it? 222 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: That's good. 223 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 2: I have two cats and so I always get fearful 224 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 2: of this, and I understand the concern behind this question. 225 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 2: There has not been any research that shows that tads 226 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: the dogs can get this virus. 227 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: As I stand in. 228 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 2: The beginning, this virus viruses is very specific and it's 229 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 2: kind of a happenstance that they're able to inoculate or 230 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 2: cause us, or get inside of us as humans because 231 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: of a specific mutation that's heard that that finished the virus. 232 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 2: That being said, it would be really difficult for that 233 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 2: to happen again for another species that is close by, 234 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 2: like a dog or a cat. 235 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 4: Well, thank God that we can hold on to our 236 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 4: anxiety animals. 237 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, and please take care of the shelters that are 238 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 2: trying their best to manage all of these these animals 239 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 2: that are that don't have a home. 240 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: I was just reading about that. 241 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 4: Another listener asks, I've been told that I should change 242 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 4: clothes right when I come inside. Is that necessary? 243 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 2: So, first off, I have to answer this question with 244 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 2: the understanding that some of us are privileged enough to 245 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: have this ability to have clothing in order to be 246 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 2: able to change. If you have the ability and you 247 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: have to be resourced, I would definitely do things. I mean, 248 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: I can go through my whole thing that I do. 249 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 2: I'm coming from a high risk environment. I have a 250 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 2: partner in my apartment, and I don't want to expose 251 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: him to as much as I can, I don't want 252 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 2: to expose him. So the things that I do is 253 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 2: that I leave my shoes outside. Obviously, you just have 254 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 2: to live in a space and stafe enough to do that. 255 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 2: I also make sure that I take off my. 256 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: Clothes immediately and put them in the washing machine. 257 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: But obviously before I even do all of this, I'm 258 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 2: changing from my thrubs into regular clothes in my office. 259 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: And then coming home. 260 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 2: But even with that being said, I still change, and 261 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 2: if I'm running outside, I try my best to change 262 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 2: to take a shower as soon as I get back again. 263 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 2: This is not really legitimized in research, but me, my 264 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 2: thinking is like mitigating as much as much as a 265 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 2: transmiss as possible because the virus thoes live on through 266 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 2: and now. 267 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 4: Specific to the running community, we've been seeing everything from 268 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 4: of course friends' weddings to large marathons. I was supposed 269 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 4: to run their London Marathon at the end of April 270 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 4: that's been postponed. A lot of people are kind of, 271 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 4: aside from the normal reasons to be unsettled during this time, 272 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 4: unsettled because they had such a crazy, big training mass 273 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 4: and they just don't know what to do to go 274 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 4: to a more sedentary possible lifestyle. So do you have 275 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 4: any at all, like words of wisdom for these people 276 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 4: that were kind of at peak fitness and they're just 277 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 4: really anxious about how. 278 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: To handle this. 279 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm definitely working with a psychotherapist on 280 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 2: resources because I want to make sure that I clarify 281 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 2: I have good statements when I'm talking about dealing and 282 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 2: self managing with anxiety. Especially, a lot of us are 283 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 2: just finding out that we're having anxiety. That's really important 284 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 2: to realize. It's really difficult because there's not going to 285 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 2: be in any time soon a way that people can 286 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: work out in a group format like a marathon or 287 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 2: a large event. What I would honestly say is take 288 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 2: advantage of the time that you can can run outside down, 289 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 2: you can run outside and definitely no one's judging you. 290 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 2: I would make sure to set goals for yourself and 291 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 2: organize your day as much as possible. You have to 292 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 2: realize that as working people, the majority of the people 293 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 2: who are listening to the set up and go to work, 294 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 2: now that that's kind of been taken away, we have 295 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 2: to figure out how to organize our homes in a 296 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 2: way that we can define spaces for sleeping, for entertainment, 297 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 2: and for working, and I think making sure that we 298 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: stay on the same schedule that we will already on. 299 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 2: It's really important because once your sleep schedule changes, it 300 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 2: can induce other risk factors for depression, increase, anxiety, and 301 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 2: then that can also be related to your health overall. 302 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 4: Right, So I mean you're touching on anxiety and mental health. 303 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 4: Any other suggestions aside from you know, designating designating certain 304 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 4: spaces to make sure that you have a separate space 305 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 4: for sleep versus where you're working on, just how to 306 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 4: you keep calm and keep anxiety at bay during this time. 307 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's really person dependent. Being most honest 308 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 2: with you, If you have a therapist, emailing them and 309 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: asking them for the possibility of video conferences is really important. 310 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 2: A lot of the medical community understands the importance for 311 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: social distancing, so we are quickly adapting to be able 312 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: to figure out how to see our patients. For example, 313 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 2: my twin brother is an obstetrician and his client has 314 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: already adapted to be able to prop the patients online. 315 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: They're setting them blood pressure costs and all types of 316 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 2: tools to be able to test them and give them 317 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: the readings that they need in order to prepare them 318 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: for their deliveries. So we're adapting a lot. And so 319 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 2: if you're in contact with Dessignment and CARA Provider, you 320 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: can also find out ways that they can adapt in order. 321 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: To be able to help you while maintaining social distancing. 322 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 4: I love that. Now, do you have any last words 323 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 4: of wisdom for the hurdlers as I love to call them? 324 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: So I think that what I want at number one 325 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: social distancing, social distancing, social business thing. I wish I 326 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: did tattoo it on my chest as much as possible. 327 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 2: If you follow me online, you noticed that I'm the 328 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 2: running motif in all of my stories. 329 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: Is why social. 330 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 2: Distancing is so important, specifically because I'm looking at the 331 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: results of Italy and quite honestly, I'm really scared. And 332 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: the reason why is because I'm not necessarily scared about 333 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 2: the effect of this virus on the majority. 334 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: Because we've seen some studies eighty percent of the people who. 335 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 2: Get this virus you don't even need the requirement or 336 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 2: assistance of medical providers. But in that small percentage of 337 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 2: people who do need assistance, specifically, the five percent who 338 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: will be critically ill. 339 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: Those are the people who will present. 340 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: To the hospital all at the same time and cause detrimental, 341 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 2: severe affection on the healthcare system. So social distancing is 342 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 2: so important. Number two, making the story that you take 343 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 2: care of yourself. Making sure you set time limits on 344 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 2: your phone.
