If you are a senior citizen in good health, it’s hard to sit and do nothing when faced with a problem. All our life we’ve been told to stand up for yourself, don’t give up, only the strong survive, losing is not an option. It’s an attitude we developed from our youth. Call it a John Wayne approach, because nothing is impossible.
This makes it difficult to accept the way the government is dealing with the Coronavirus. Sit back and relax at home, don’t leave the house, take shelter in your home. All these recommendations are valid but they go against the DNA of the older generation.
If you are a doer, a take charge person doing nothing seems wrong and evasive, but based on the reports on this virus, scaling back your routine is probably the best approach. For all those people that crave action, do something at home to keep you busy and away from public places.
The truth is many businesses are closed so you’re limited as to where you can go. Enjoy a hobby, read a book, watch a movie. It’s a perfect time to chill, since there’s not much else to do. If you must go to the store or take a walk, do so but don’t linger or lollygag (a senior citizen word), just take care of business and return home. If you are a child of a doer, it’s important to know that’s it’s very difficult for a doer sit patiently doing nothing, even if it’s the prudent thing to do. “Just Saying . . .”
