Corona-virus/ Covid19

What a turn our world has taken. The corona-virus has attacked so many of us now. It does not discriminate, young, older, healthy, unhealthy, it doesn't matter. This Virus is attacking everyone. I have been reading/watching the news and all of this is very scary and our future is uncertain at this point in time. We need to do our part and stop the spread. The only way we can do that is if we abide by the "stay at home" orders. For most of us, we will be working from home and/or staying home. All the kids are out of school, no socializing over groups of 10, and only leaving your house for essentials. I think by the time this is "over" the word "Essential" will bring on a whole new meaning. Washing our hands is more important than ever and distancing ourselves from everyone is the most important. I don't think we need to panic or hoard, but we do need to take this virus seriously and be conscious of our soundings and our cleanliness. Protect yourself and look out for your family and friends. Provide assistance as much as you can for the elder, while also taking care of yourself. Respect each other, care for each other, stay humble, and be kind during these uncertain times. It's global ya'll. China was the main break out of the virus, Italy didn't act fast enough and people on the cruise ships were not monitored/quarantined long enough. Someone dropped the ball. 

For myself and my husband, we are still working. It's very scary going into work not knowing what harmful germs we could potentially catch while we are out. While both of us our doing our best to distance ourselves from people, there are still the ignorant people that don;t care or understand the severity of this virus. 

My husband works for a small company and can basically quarantine himself in his office with his two other co-workers, they do not see outside business. I, on the other hand, I am in an industry where I am surrounded by all kind of people on a regular. We have taken safety precautions and limited our lobby. We are conducting phone interviews/screening and are only allowing our lobby to people that we have scheduled in advance. But for the most part, our lobby doors are locked. Our business in increasingly slowing down. Our customers are shutting down slowly. We do have some essential customer that will be staying open during this pandemic. And I fear for the most. 

It was just announced today that Prince Charles has tested positive for the corona-virus. Hopefully they were able to quarantine him in time and he did not spread it to anyone else. 

The US now has more confirmed cases than any other country. I hope everyone can stay safe and safe healthy! God Bless America!
