I’m not sure how many days we are into this “15 days” thing. Frankly, I’m not really sure what day of the week it is. As we collectively lose our grip on reality and socialization and increasingly turn to technology to cope, a number of meditation apps are offering up content to free to help folks recenter admit a push to shelter in place.

Headspace was among the first to offer a plan. The popular app announced that it would be making its premium tier free for “all US healthcare professionals who work in public health settings,” a nice  nod to the first-responders who are among the hardest working and most emotionally wiped amid the pandemic.
