Salesforce | Fight Corona With These Free COVID-19 Resources | Channel your Energy Positively

These are unsettling and challenging times for all of us as we see ourselves battling an invisible force. Whenever there is a discussion on apocalypse, the key instigators would invariably be nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, or alien attacks. But out of nowhere, this Coronavirus pandemic has sneaked in unannounced and crippled the world within a 3-month span. There is still a lot of uncertainty about how this situation will pan out. One thing we can be all be sure of is that when humans unite and fight as one, there is no force that can stop us.

We will prevail

It’s only a matter of time before we stop the spread of disease, invent a cure, and develop a vaccine for COVID-19. Until then, it is our responsibility to do our bit in this war against a deadly virus. While the healthcare professionals, police, military, and those managing social welfare, public works, and essential commodities fight it out on the ground, we need to support them by staying home as much as possible, maintaining social distance, and strictly following the hygiene protocol advocated by the authorities.

Stay positive

This time of crisis has also turned our routine and schedules upside down. Business travels, family vacations, field projects, schools, colleges, and even the simple matter of commuting to work have come to a dead stop. While work from home may be a familiar term to some professionals, a majority of us are trying to adapt to this new mode of working that COVID-19 has forced us into. We are quickly trying to adapt to remote conferencing and alternate communication channels with Salesforce Resources. This is also a time when we need to channel our energy into positive channels like spending quality time with family or learn something new.

A lot of organizations have come forward and are offering a lot of resources to help us overcome this challenge thrown at us. We have tried to compile a list of these Salesforce resources & COVID-19 resources that we are sure would be of use to you, your family, and friends…
