Coronavirus: What to do & how to think

So what’s going to happen, what’s everyone going to do, what does this mean for our future, for your family, the market, your income… and when will it be over?

These and many other questions are probably dominating your mind right now like so many around the world.  And rightfully so.

People are scared, fear builds and the news surely doesn’t help ease that uncertainty.

So how do we find the strength and the certainty to feel okay and focus on solutions? How do we not only change our own state of mind around this chaos… but even greater, become a role model to help others navigate through these tough times?

I believe we all have a part to play in repairing ourselves and the world. And below we have shared three training sessions Tony and I have done that I think could really help during times like these. We wanted to give those to you today as our way of contributing.

Plus I shot a video specifically to address the different areas of life you’re probably concerned about: personal, business, what you can do, how to think about this, and what I feel is most important to do now to protect yourself. 

So first, I want to say that I hope you’re safe. I hope you’re healthy. I hope you and your loved ones have access to the food, medicine and other resources you need to make it through this crazy time.

Remember as chaotic as it can seem during times like this, your inner strength is more important than ever. So let’s strengthen that!

If we allow ourselves to shrink on the inside (and I know that’s easier said than done), that will only compound our fear and panic further…

So I’ve spent this weekend watching our country and the world react to this global crisis – and I want to first share a few thoughts on how to best get through this:

1. Now’s the time to be a leader and role model for others, . 
It’s not the time to hide and focus on what else can go wrong (we’ve all been there). That won’t help anything… We’ve been in terrible and scary situations before as a country (9/11 comes to mind) and we have always made it through… so show your kids, your family, your friends and everyone around you what it means to have inner strength and fight panic with wisdom. (more on how to do that in the video I shot for you)

2. Be Prepared: Yes, you should stock up on food and supplies and avoid going outside whenever possible. 
Fear isn’t the answer to solving this… but that doesn’t mean I think you should ignore warnings and live your life without caution. There’s a reason doctors and governments around the world are saying you should stay home – because the more people out and about, the more likely the virus will spread. And the reality is that stores are selling out like crazy because people are scared. So if you haven’t yet, go to the store and stock up on food and essentials, but otherwise stay home.

3. Find the positives by focusing on inner reflection and personal growth.
Obviously this is a terrible virus that is hurting too many people… but that doesn’t mean we must have a negative mindset. Use this time to work on your relationships. Work on connecting with your kids. Turn off electronics, play games with your family and be present. Spend time on self-education… take that course you’ve been putting off, do those home exercises you never make time for and find the strength within you rather than looking to the outside world for answers.

I want to do everything in my power to help you through this time… to help you be a leader, a hero and set the example for those around you!

I know this won’t solve all but I got with my team to figure out how we can best serve you. We went through dozens of training sessions and picked the most powerful ones possible to help you create the mindset you need to be a leader and stay positive…

And by clicking here right now, you can instantly access all 3 of our best trainings (on us):

1. My Success Loop Training & Tool
We all face unexpected realities in life… and rarely is anything more unexpected than the current coronavirus pandemic. What separates true leaders from everyone else is how we respond to those unexpected circumstances. I created this training during one of my hardest times in life to overcome sudden and HUGE issues like we are facing today. This will help you become stronger, think clearer and have peace during this time when others are withdrawing and overwhelmed with panic.

2. Tony Robbins’ 5 Keys To Constantly Progress & Avoid Fear
It’s easy to let fear overcome you. And that wouldn’t make you a weak person… but what if with just a slight adjustment we could actually start to GROW from times like these even faster? And be the rock that others will lean on and look to as an example? Tony’s 5 Keys will show you exactly how to build that inner strength and become the leader that other people need right now. I love this training.

3. My Winning State Of Mind Course
This is a 5-part course I’ve sold in the past but my team and I decided it was what my DG family needs right now… So go use it to learn how to have the confidence and state of mind to work through this sudden and scary time in our lives. A winning state of mind will help you think like a hero and avoid letting your mindset be overcome by fear.

Note: These trainings weren’t created with a global health crisis in mind… but that doesn’t mean they can’t help right now.

What a perfect time to work on you. Take the time to watch all three of these trainingsand take from them what you may need right now. If that’s security for your family, this will help. If it’s making sure business stays strong, these will help. If it’s not allowing yourself to fall in a rut, these will surely help…

Because the truth is, most people will be looking to our government, social media or some other outside force to tell them how they should feel…

But don’t let that be you. Keep your inner strength, stay positive, become a role model in this incredibly scary time and set an example of resilience and wisdom for others!

And I hope these trainings can help you do that…

So stay safe, be strong and we’ll chat soon.

Does disinfecting surfaces really prevent the spread of coronavirus?

Photos from the areas hardest hit by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 tell a story of disinfection: Trucks spraying streets and a phalanx of sanitation workers wearing backpack tanks fogging sidewalks, parks, and plazas in China, South Korea, Italy, and elsewhere. Countless recommendations admonish us to wash our hands and disinfect often-touched surfaces in our homes. But what is the most effective way to prevent exposure to the virus?

Like other coronaviruses, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which causes COVID-19, is thought to spread most commonly through invisible respiratory droplets sent into the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Those droplets can then be inhaled by nearby people or land on surfaces that others then touch, who can then get infected when they touch their eyes, nose, or mouth.

The good news from investigations of the coronavirus spread, says Juan Leon, an environmental health scientist at Emory University, is that past studies show common household disinfectants, including soap or a diluted bleach solution, can deactivate coronaviruses on indoor surfaces. “Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses with a protective fat layer,” Leon says. Disinfectants tear apart that fat layer, Leon says, which makes coronaviruses “fairly wimpy” compared to noroviruses and other common viruses that have a more robust protein shell. The Environmental Protection Agency has a list of disinfectants that have shown to be effective in fighting coronaviruses.

So, how long does SARS-CoV-2 stick around in the air or on surfaces? That depends. According to a preprint posted Tuesday on medRxiv, the virus persists in the air for up to 3 hours and for 2 to 3 days on stainless steel and plastic surfaces. In research published in the Journal of Hospital Infection, researchers found that a related coronavirus that causes SARS can persist up to 9 days on nonporous surfaces such as stainless steel or plastic. And according to reports including one published yesterday in JAMA, SARS-CoV-2 has been detected in feces, suggesting the virus could be spread by people who don’t properly wash their hands after using the bathroom. But thus far, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there is no indicationthat it spreads through drinking water, swimming pools, or hot tubs.

So, what about outdoors? According to a variety of local news reports from cities including Shanghai and Gwangju, South Korea, the disinfectant most commonly used outdoors is a diluted solution of sodium hypochlorite, or household bleach. But it’s unclear whether bleach destroys coronaviruses outside, and if it does kill them on surfaces it’s unclear whether it would kill viruses in the air. Bleach itself breaks down under ultraviolet (UV) light. Then again, Leon says, UV light seems to destroy coronaviruses as well. And coronavirus exposure from outdoor surfaces may be limited already: “Nobody goes around licking sidewalks or trees,” Leon says.

There may even be downsides to widespread overzealous disinfection with bleach, notes Julia Silva Sobolik, a graduate student in Leon’s lab. “Bleach is highly irritating to mucous membranes,” Sobolik says. That means people exposed to sprayed disinfectants—especially the workers who spray them—are at risk of respiratory troubles, among other ailments. Sobolik notes that an October 2019 study in JAMA Network Open found that nurses who regularly used disinfectants to clean surfaces were at higher risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A 2017 study linked exposure to disinfectants to asthma to adults in Germany. Both of those studies dealt with yearslong exposure to disinfectants. Still, the message seems to be taking hold. In a recent television broadcast by state CCTV in China, Zhang Liubo, a researcher with China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention, warned the public that, “Outdoor surfaces, such as roads, squares, lawns, should not be sprayed with disinfectants repeatedly. … Spraying disinfectants over a large area and repeatedly may cause environmental pollution and should be avoided.”

So, what’s the best path forward? Given that person-to-person contact appears the most likely route of transmission for COVID-19, “I would focus on how to minimize that contact,” Leon says. That means the usual hygiene advice, he says: Stay home if you are sick, reduce close contact with others, make sure to cover your mouth if you sneeze or cough, and wash your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds. Says Sobolik: “As simple as it sounds, it works.”
