See the thing I don’t understand is although this may have started in China as the facts indicate or some other country, who cares. It could have been in any other country in the world - but some people all over the world are now blaming others and panicking.
This is a global disease. People need to stop spreading fear and lies and simply come together. Who cares where it started and just look after the elderly and immune suppressed.
Take one day at a time and take solace in the fact at this time only 1 out of 5 infected needs hospital care and many many of these people recover.
It is not death sentence. Panic can have more adverse effects on ones mental and physical - anxiety can lead to strokes and heart attacks, etc....
This is serious and this is why I decided to bring in restrictions to my office (working from home /shifts) since the beginning of the week. Please do not come into the office and call beforehand as we will not be able to see you unless you speak to us and we indicate it is fine. We have also been disinfecting the office very frequently for the last number of weeks.
Let’s all be well and have hold onto the facts and not the hysteria and take precautions.
Be well.
