On Sunday, March 15, 2020, the federal government cut the federal interest rates down to zero percent. This is the second federal rate cut in response to the Coronavirus crisis. Mortgage rates are not directly tied to the federal interest rates. However, the mortgage interest rates will be affected by moves that investors make and other factors.

Federal Rates Cuts and Other Economic Stimulation Activity

The government is fearful that the economy will fall into a deep recession if they don't make moves to stimulate it. That's why they lowered the federal interest rates to zero. There is more economic stimulation legislation that should help during this COVID-19 crisis, as well.

It's no secret that Coronavirus is a serious cause for concern, one that is sweeping all around the world. Your kids are more connected to the world than ever before. This is due to having instant access to breaking news via their cell phones. It's only natural that they, too, will have concerns.

Here are some of the best ways that you can help your children understand the anxiety that comes with the Coronavirus.

Let Your Kids Know That the Coronavirus is Almost Never Fatal

The very first thing that you should make clear to your children is that the virus is almost never fatal. In most cases, even if you catch this virus, the effects will be no worse than a very bad cold or the average flu. In other words, you'll need plenty of fluids and bed rest.

Spring is on its way with warmer weather and more daylight. It's the perfect time to clean and organize your house. There's a reason people like to clean house in the spring.

I don't want us to be in a state of worry and dread, I want us to be wise. There is a big difference between the two. Dread and worry will cause you to not function well.

Wise, is assessing the situation and making choices on the part you can control. 

For me, it is having staples as well as basic medicines. Today, I cleaned off most of my knickknacks so my surfaces are smooth and easier to spray Lysol on. And I picked two pairs of shoes to wear out, so I can leave them in the garage when I come home.

Then when this is over I'm having a bonfire with both pairs of shoes! Yes, I plan on having a fire and tossing them in. 

I'm not telling or suggesting you do these. I'm saying assessing and taking action will calm you down. Look at your situation, find something you can do, and do it. But don’t let dread and worry tie you to your tv and phone, we need to be taking action, right inside of our own homes.
