This week, no links. A selection of things I was having thoughts about during the week instead to mull over. - Flipping donated boards - Hollow cases and design - Switch Sound Standards - Alternative lubricants ** 5 simple rules: 1. Stay home 2. Don’t touch anything (when you go out) 3. Don’t touch anyone (when you go out) 4. Don’t touch your face 5. Wash your hands frequently Other tips: Work from home, if you can. Bring your family and your children back home where it’s safe, and stay there please. Get the Flu Vaccine when it comes out, if you qualify. Stay connected with friends and family by phone, Skype, Facetime. Your mental health is important! Check on those you know might be lonely or vulnerable. Find ways to support local businesses, tradies and artists (get online, you’ll work it out!). Exercise at home. Listen to music. Remember to laugh ??. Please SHARE if you agree! We have to do this TOGETHER!! ?? Sending best air-hugs, Dan Suan MBBS FRACP FRCPA PhD *** Our Instagram is at https://www.instagram
