The Coronavirus is Bad but Not That Bad

The Corona Virus has gripped the world and dominated the news for weeks. Some people have died from it and the fear of the virus is such that the NBA has suspended the rest of the season.

I am not dismissing the severity of the Coronavirus and this blog post is not meant to minimize what is happening to those who are falling victim. Instead, I want to remind you there are ways to protect yourself and stop spreading it.

• Stay clean. Wash your hands. Bathe. Wear clean clothes. The most effective way to kill germs is with soap and water. They taught that in kindergarten.
• Cover your mouth when you cough and sneeze.
• Change your clothes, especially your underwear. (Yes. Some people need to be reminded of this.)

There is a lot of talk about this. A lot of this is coming from the media. Any media: Conservative, Liberal, Alternative. It is their job to inform the public and it is my opinion the media is feeding the mania everyone is experiencing. When you keep reporting on something over and over again, it appears to be bigger than it is. When celebrities are affected, it seems to be more prevalent because it has penetrated that "bubble".

We can get through this. Take care of yourself. Do what you were taught to do when you were a kid. Do what you're supposed to do anyway. This will stop the spread of this and the world will be better.

And, for the love of God, lay off the toilet paper.
