As we are all staying home to flatten the curve we are all facing a lot of challenges in quarantine, oddly enough during this time there's a lot we can learn from astronauts who have been in space. Former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly joins Shira and Ryan to share his tips on self isolation.
He says that being in space is a lot like being in quarantine! Astronaut Kelly says he's flown 4 times and his longest flight in space was 340 days. Kelly says it's important for people to know that our performance during this pandemic may be the most significant thing that we ever have to do, because what we do has an impact on our society and can either save lives or cause more deaths.
He suggests not to count the days because this is our reality, but he says to make this easier we can elevate people, communicate our feelings or write them down, and have a schedule - time to go outside, take a break, work etc.
"Was I part of the solution or was I part of the problem?" Astronaut Scott Kelly says that's what we need to ask ourselves.
