John,
First off, I hope that everyone in the household is safe and healthy. By now you've probably received a lot of emails about resources and FAQs about the coronavirus pandemic.
Just in case you need those links again - at the bottom of this email is a compilation of the top things to know and have available. If you are a first responder, military personnel, a health care worker, government staff, or a frontline retail worker providing vital services and supplies right now, thank you. It is in times like these that you show your immense value to our communities and nation. Thank you.
If you are like me, you've been social distancing for days now, staying at home, except to go out for a dog walk or a run, and will probably be in this situation for weeks to come. In the spirit of providing all-around resources for the whole person, here are a few that I think you might enjoy.
1. 12 Famous Museums Offer Virtual Tours You Can Take on Your Couch (Video). Now, you get "go to the museum" and never have to leave your couch. - [link removed]
2. Being Mindful of Your Mental Health During the COVID-19 Outbreak. As we all face uncertainty about the novel coronavirus, there are measures we can take to stay calm. - [link removed]
3. The funniest 20 jokes ever to lift your spirits amid Coronavirus outbreak. A little humor from across the pond, to make you chuckle. Laughter, after all, is the best medicine... well except social distancing is the best right now! - [link removed]
4. Tips for keeping fit while stuck in your Atlanta house. Using your own household items, you can stick to your exercise routine without a gym membership - [link removed]
5. Volunteer to make phone calls and texts to voters, and email your contacts about supporting our campaign! The usual campaign meet and greets and door knocking are suspended for the foreseeable future, which means we are going to have a much tougher time communicating with voters for the May 19th Democratic primary election. Help us put the personal touch and get out the vote by signing up for a shift today! Thank you. - [link removed]
As always please feel free to call or text my cell at 404-585-0833 if you need anything, have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your ongoing support during these difficult times. I know that we will all get through this as one community and one nation. Keep washing your hands, stay at home unless absolutely necessary, and keep smiling, laughing, and reaching out to your friends and loved ones.
Sincerely,
- Ted
P.S. You might imagine that campaign fundraising has also taken quite a downturn. If you are one of the fortunate ones who have the resources and income to keep supporting our movement to bring courage to our politics, will you pitch in a donation today? Help us continue to push for change at all levels, from the top of the ticket all the way down to the local County Commission. Thank you!
