Now ... Being Private People Is A Good Thing

This morning as I listened to the news I heard people say they aren't worried in the least over the coronavirus. They said their president said it was a hoax. I saw online where a man is going to bars hoping to spread as much of the coronavirus as he can. I see gatherings, rallies aren't being canceled because there's no fear of anyone getting sick at them. I see, read, hear so many contradictions. We all have to form our own opinions, trust whomever, whatever speaks to our hearts. I hope whatever you, or I do ... we make the right decision. I understand the coronavirus doesn't cause death in everyone ... think about it though ... don't you know a lot of people who are already battling cancer, heart disease, diabetes just to name a few? These people are the ones with underlying health issues who ... could die from complications. I know when we are talking to people in a group ... say 5-6 people, I'm realizing all if not at least 4-5 people have diabetes ... not only that ... they are cancer survivors like both Skip and I. Not only that ... have heart issues. I've just had open-heart surgery, Skip has a pacemaker and needs heart valve surgery. He has diabetes and has had strokes. He's been very sick. I realized yesterday it is almost impossible to protect oneself completely when out in public. As much as we used the hand sanitizer ... we were near people who had colds, coughing ... we hope they had colds, anyway. We have 2 more appointments on Monday, Tuesday to take our dogs to the vet for rabies, nail clips. After that, we will stay close to home for a while. We are used to being to ourselves so, maybe for now, that is a good thing.
