I scrolled through my pictures this morning to find one I could share and possibly make someone else smile.
I don’t turn on the TV much because everything is about coronavirus.
Social media, The same.
Working in a hospital, I understand the importance of information. People fear the unknown. That said, the media has been nothing but opinions the past 4 years. Very little “just the facts ma’am” being broadcast. Just because an anchor is saying it, doesn’t make it facts.
Blasting pictures of empty shelves, long lines for bread and milk, pushing and shoving like Black Friday just spreads panic.
Stop
Just stop.
We should be spreading the ways to help prevent the spread and the contraction of this virus and any other that might come in the future.
Look at the facts.
Be proactive according to them.
The elderly have the highest susceptibility.
The virus can stay alive on stainless and plastic for up to 4 days. Other surfaces not so long. Clean touchable areas with bleach water and let air dry.
Wash your hands throughout the day.
Respect personal space.
Stay home if you have a fever or other symptoms.
Help be part of the solution not the problem.
The biggest pandemic we have right now is not the coronavirus,
Its pandemonium.
Post something positive today. There are people quarantined or just opting to stay indoors and social media is there only form of contact with others.
Be that person that brightens their day.
Not the one that fuels their anxiety.
This too shall pass.
Love each other.
From a distance for awhile, but still love.
And love big.
