Staying safe in chaotic times — A message from our founders

As you may have heard or seen by now, the novel coronavirus is greatly affecting the world around us. Our markets, our work lives, our social lives, and perish the thought — our loved ones.

It would be irresponsible to not acknowledge this. With that in mind, we’d like to spend this week by sharing useful images, content, and recommendations to stay safe in trying times.

This is a wonderfully lucid piece on how we can help curb/slow the virus growth. The primary concept in this article is Social Distancing.

Social distancing is a term applied to certain actions that are taken by Public Health officials to stop or slow down the spread of a highly contagious disease.

To illustrate social distancing, this tweet does a good job.

This may also be closer to us than we think. A recent attendee of the ETH conference circuit has tested positive for coronavirus. Luckily our community is taking this seriously and responding with care:

The best resources we’ve seen to stay educated have been The CDC and The WHO.

Stay safe out there. Practice good hygiene, only share information that has been validated, and try to remain positive.

Best, Alex and Zac
