I count the absence of campaigns like this as one of the great crimes of omission of all the fear-porn mongers of the panicdemic.
Mask up, social distance, isolate, comply - with some very key FOUNDATIONAL HUMAN elements conspicuously missing.
I was born with a goofy smile on my face. I learned early on that it's not normal to smile all the time, but it's normal to me.
My young son has the same 'condition'. Already learning how not to let anyone knock that smile off his face.

I get depressed once in a very blue moon.
When I do the LAST thing I'm concerned about is whatever problems I have or am going through.
Since I need STRENGTH to deal with them, taking them on when I'm weak is ALWAYS counterproductive.
the FIRST thing I concern myself with is whether basic needs are being met.
Starting with WATER.
We can survive weeks without food, but only days without water.
So I slug a ton of it, whether I feel like it or not.
THAT is often as far as I need to go.
Next comes things like fruit, sunshine, fresh air (get myself out of breath even) - SIMPLE NEEDS - easy to fill, not complicated at all, and that work wonders.
My brain power alone couldn't help with any of that - because my weakened body can SABOTAGE my thought processes - I know that. I've known that from a very young age.
And I'm not interested in anyone's psychoanalysis and pep talks when I'm going through that. Because 99.9999+% of the time it's not psychological at all!
I have a headache because I drank too much coffee and not enough WATER.
If I get sick I go to down. If I have a fever I FEED IT. It's there for a reason. Keep the head cold and turn the body into a nuclear furnace until all my murder hornet pathogens are fried.
I actually LIKE fevers. I get a DELIRIOUS high from them. I can feel enormous dopamine hits that go along with it while I'm ROASTING ALIVE under the covers. In heaven!
And when I get really sick - like colon cancer sick...
@StevenDouglas In some cases, fevers is sweet for me, like a mild delirium.
