The SUITCASE Coronavirus Cheat Sheet

The SUITCASE Coronavirus Cheat Sheet



We’ve
put together a
coronavirus
cheat sheet, detailing all of the contacts and
outlets that will best help you to navigate the murky waters of the
COVID-19
pandemic.

We get it. Self-isolation is the pits and it’s not helped by the
constant dribble of sensationalist Instagram videos and
fearmongering opinion pieces that are circulating through the
digital ether. In response, we’ve decided to put together a crib
sheet, with all of the contacts and outlets you need to best
navigate the murky, infected waters of the C-word. Our aim is to
make this the most comprehensive set of contacts going, which is
why we want your help. If you notice anything remiss or you think
there’s something we should know about, reach out by email:

. We’ll add relevant suggestions and keep this page updated as
the situation unfolds. We know it’s a pretty tight edit at the
moment, but together we can make something really useful. Thanks
for being on board.
