The world is a scary place at the moment. People, trying to avoid fear, uncertainty, start to commit actions just to stay busy. Unfortunately, this only helps the person in motion. We need to just stop for a moment. Breathe. Gather our thoughts and do what is best for our society.
These thoughts of mine were sparked by seeing pictures of people lining up to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. We need only to look to Italy to see how this is going to affect us in the long run. Their country has been devastated by the virus. They have lost countless loved ones because of being unprepared and not following the directions strongly suggested by their medical experts.
To be fair, unless you’ve experienced this sort of virus before, how can you truly understand how to act, behave, protect? At the moment, we are to told to practice social distancing. Some of us are experts in this field. I happen to be one of them. For the rest who are unfamiliar with this sort of practice, remember. It’s not forever. We are doing this to protect our more vulnerable population. These are our older people. Our people with compromised immune system. Folks who are already being ravaged by illness. Remember, we are social distancing ourselves for this little amount of time for the greater good.
We can do this! We can help others. We can do the right thing and reduce our social outings, look after out vulnerable, and be a better community at the end of this all.
Be careful. Be safe. Be smart.
