As i watch news, obviously about covid19, i cant help but write on my thoughts. I hope all of you are well.

Millenials and youth:
Covid19 does not discriminate with age and healthy people. Do me a favor and stay home to save your loved ones life.

Social Distancing:
The reason we social distance of 6 feet is because covid19 is contracted by droplet. When a person speaks, he/she may expell out some saliva. With 6 feet distance its very difficult to expel or spit a saliva to another person.

Cleaning surfaces:
Covid19 lives in a surface for 3 days. It’s important that you clean common surfaces and/or items frequently daily.

Covid19 in the air:
What we know so far, again this may change, is that covid virus will last in the air for 20 minutes. The theory behind this is that when a person speaks, the saliva and/or breath will travel from the distance of mouth and eventually fall in the ground.

Important question we should ask:
When is treatment available?
When are we going to start seeing workers disinfecting public areas like seen in China?

Business closing:
I understand and empathized the loss of wages and profits. Our federal government is sending bailout money to everyone. It will be over soon if we get everybody to cooperate and stay home.

Investors and stock market:
I too have lost some money in the recent market steep drop, but i remain optimism that once covid19 is behind us (meaning news gets old and media have something else to talk about) the market will be bear again. Indeed, this may be an opportunity to buy at low prices.

Do me a favor and share this information to your friends and loved ones.

P.S.
Our president trump just purposely called covid19 Chinese virus. Hopefully this does not initiate a war.

My final thoughts for today. Hang on tight, stay calm, be kind to others, prepare for the worst, take this seriously, listen to health officials, and covid19 will become a seasonal virus.

Till next time and stay healthy!!

Dear readers,

Its been an unprecedented health crisis we are currently facing with covid19. Within the last two month, ive been trying to follow everything thats going on with covid 19 and how this will change the way we live our life.

I have so much thoughts on this, but today i would like to just say this- lets be a good citizen and help our community, neighbor, and loved ones by staying home. Think of it this way, for every person that stays home, we can save one person life. Lets take our medical experts advice and take this seriously, but also lets not panic. We do not need to panic buy or panic seIl everything. I believe what our officials are saying that we have enough food and water supplies for now.

The reason public health officials are telling us to stay home is NOT because we want control but if all of us get sick, theres not enough hospitals, healthcare professionals, ventilators, life support, medical equipment and supplies needed to save every life. We cannot get sick all at the same time.

Another thing, the media loves to talk about the need for testing. We cannot test everyone. Even if theres enough testing, what will do the results do. Theres no treatment and there’s no vaccinations. We do not need justification to test positive for covid19 to stay home. The rule of thumb is, if you are not feeling well ( have cough, fever, body aches) you should stay home and try to isolate yourself from your house hold members.

Be well everyone. Till next time!!!

80,000 Americans died of the flu last winter. Get your flu shot. If law mandates every person to get a flu shot, I believe illnesses rate would decrease.
That’s more than the number killed in traffic collisions, from gun violence, or from opioid overdoses.
