COVID-19

First let’s start by talking about what is Corona virus.Corona virus is a fast spreading pandemic across the globe,Often people get confused that the name Corona Virus is a wide spread term used for a typical nameless virus.Corona Virus has been around for years in many forms but over the past couple months we’ve seen a major spike since some incidents in China.Its unofficial how the virus started but what we do know is that it came from some sort of Bat or some non-domesticated animal.This soon spread to humans in China that now is all over the world from trade and travel.

Now let’s talk about some symptoms,Corona virus Symptoms start at little none to the equivalent to a cold or flu.The specific symptoms are Cough,fever,and difficulty breathing.If you think you have one or more of these symptoms try and see a doctor to get tested and self treat yourself for the time being.By self treatment I mean staying away from others,taking typical anti cold medication like Claritin,Delsym,etc.The other issue right now is the media,news and articles we read everyday totally scare us citezens.They brainwash you into thinking you will die if you have Corona,realistically only 13,000 people have died.Thats 13,000 out of 300,000 cases which percent wise means you only have a 4.3% chance of death.So everyone should not be freaking out,use your common sense.By this I mean consider your options,social distance yourself from strangers and friends,wash your hands hourly,and wipe/wash down your door handles or anything people often touch.The thing that the News should be displaying more is how easily this spreads,people need to stop going out to eat/stop getting together with friends in big groups,the faster we all isolate ourselves,the numbers will quickly drop.I know it’s long and boring but hibernating for a couple weeks isn’t going to hurt it will give everyone time to heal so this virus can be isolated and we can return to our typical daily lives.Another issue is this chaotic “buy everything in sight”,people this isn’t the Black Plague it’s not like stores are just going to shut down,stores will be open.Everyone should just remain shopping like normal and I do understand you wanna stock up so you go out to buy more stuff less,well the reason for that is good but in the long run it’s having negative effects.Doctors of any type are running out of face masks which is very beneficial and necessary for their job,Food/Water is running out,people need water so don’t just take all the water in the store.People should just be shopping like normal but don’t touch everything and wash your hands after a trip to the store,not taking loads of everything you see and leaving it empty for those who may actually need it.I didn’t make this article to criticize anyone I’m just suggesting more positive options,I’m not telling anyone not to be worried or scared.Im scared myself I have “high risks” family members that could be in trouble if they get it,but I know this doesn’t kill everyone it just spreads very fast and sadly we don’t have a cure yet.The biggest issue is just people underestimating this pandemic,people think we’ll “I’m not gonna die from it so I’m not worried”,which in a way is being selfish cause by them going out they don’t know who they could affect.Most young people like myself don’t even get symptoms for this so I could have it right now and be giving it to older people who could be affected and I have t been going out so imagine the young people that have and they think it’s fun “wooo woo more spring break”.Well their not really taking into account that lord of other people could die and you are spreading it,.the people going out partying and eating out every night are the ones making this thing drag out,cause they get it and then spread it to everyone therefore causing numbers to skyrocket.There are tons of things I could suggest and say but I think what I covered are the most informal and necessary information I’d like to get out to you readers.Please stay safe,practice your social distancing I know it’s boring but Life as we know it will chnage for the next couple months and there is nothing we can do except try and help prevent it by isolating yourself.
