Thank you for hosting this event. I can't wait to hear more from all of you!

Tisa, would you mind if we ask the panel how to counter feelings of isolation? 00:47:31 Anonymous: Excellent points made by Joanna and Larry. How are you communicating with your family members about your plans? 00:52:01 Anonymous: I’m taking Susan’s advise, but it will be wine & chocolate & cheesy & funny Christmas movies. My family lives in a Red Zone, and I have a 25 year old niece who visits my mom and hugs her but I don’t feel comfortable. it’s very frustrating, also my husband and I are mourning my dad & his mom. I think it’s okay to just be Al & I this Christmas at our house. For years we’ve always had to travel. 00:54:01 Anonymous: Hi All, please select “Panelists and Attendees” before pressing send on the chat, so we can all join in! 00:55:07 Anonymous: Cuddles with my cat gives me shots of pleasure. :) 00:56:10 Anonymous: Pets have been all-stars during the pandemic!

News has changed a lot in my lifetime. It's changed to focussing on the worst possible things, and so little good items. It used to be they would "read what's happening, and let us decide how we think" Now we are being told how to think, and it's mainly bad. 01:09:22 Anonymous: It seems more opinion/anecdotal based and not a whole lot of fact based reporting. 01:10:40 Anonymous: My translation/understading of doom scroling is DUMB scrolling! :) 01:10:44 Anonymous: I joined Facebook on April 3.

The news is less trusting but I like to see picture of Doberman's, kids artwork, kitty cats and other personal related things. I know... not right... but the discipline is difficult during this time. I'm disciplining myself in so many ways that I forgive myself now and again. 01:16:23 Anonymous: If you are looking to follow an expert on Twitter or other social medias: Look for the affiliation! - Pro tip from Sandro 01:17:24 Anonymous: https://www.ualberta.ca/science/news/2020/october/science-literacy-online.html 01:17:27 Anonymous: quick tip from the science world: if you see one person with an opinion, check for a second that agrees. One person can always think something, but if the masses can repeat it, it builds credibility. This is why we really utilize the peer review process. 01:17:31 Anonymous: Take a look at fact check websites and have the scientific literacy - Pro tip from Laurence 01:17:34 Anonymous: University of Alberta has a course. 01:17:41 Anonymous: Thank you, (Anonymous)! 01:18:54 Anonymous: Next up: Coping mechanisms! 01:20:08 Anonymous: has anyone developed a new hobby or developed a new skill during COVID? 01:21:06 Anonymous: I started jogging.

An the eating afterwards ;) 01:26:45 Anonymous: Getting outside and walking has definitely been helpful. Yoga, meditation and doing some zoom sessions to help others. I also tapped into some creative side, with painting, writing again, to use the other side of my brain. 01:26:48 Anonymous: Sorry that my previous text took off before I finished. I was glued to FB and Google to check the news on COVID, all day long for April. Then I decided to channel my energies to attending health webinars. However, Zoom Fatigue set in big time, after 3 consecutive hours of attending webinars. More so, interactive ones. Cannot always read body language on Zoom sessions. 01:27:08 Anonymous: 2020 is the year of the introvert 01:27:13 Anonymous: https://www.tenpercent.com/coronavirussanityguide 01:27:47 Anonymous: I am practicing being aware of “self-care” rather than “coping” which doesn’t sound positive to me. 01:28:02 Anonymous: https://www.bridgethegapp.ca/ 01:28:51 Anonymous: from New Foundland 01:29:36 Anonymous: I've found making the evening meal more of an event has added appeal to eating at home all the time.
