Alan Brown says that in order to navigate during this difficult time, we need to find a new normal. Alan recommends to get all the information you can get, inform yourself on the protocol and the regulations, as having information helps to reduce anxiety.
Further, Alan and Jamie suggests to “take one day at a time”, reach out to people, help others and find a cause you believe in. When a crisis like this happens, make sure you are there to help your friends and families.
