A reminder to protect yourself from the Coronavirus

[Lafuente_Astronomy]

Hello everyone. Lafuente_Astronomy here with a non-Celestian but very relevant message

This

Is what we have to deal with right now

As we all know, right now, the Coronavirus is currently ravaging the entire world. And while only a very small fraction of the total population is infected, make no mistake. It is a pandemic because of how many countries it infected, not how many people it infected. So, it's better to be safe than to be sorry. Prevention is better than cure.

So, just simply follow all the medical advice that your respective medical organizations tell you to do, and also add a bit of your own personal steps to help stop the virus like Self-Quarantine, heavy bathing, and the like. Also, if you have to go out to buy stuff, do not buy so much of it, we'll be starving others if we do so. Do not panic buy. Also, when you get back, immediately take a bath and wash your clothes. The virus is possibly airbrone, so also wear any mask if you have one.

That is all. And may you be kept safe from the Virus

You're very much welcome. Just doing my part to help starve the virus and save lives (and money for medical purposes)

So, taking into account multiple confirmations that the very majority of virus' victimes already have had serious health problems, let me be allowed to mention that this situation reminds the importance of healthy lifestyle, which is a real prevention.

Agreed. Healthy Lifestyle prevents many and most health problems, so we must practice that as always

Update:

As the world cases keep increasing, it's all the more imperative that you strictly follow whatever quarantine laws your country's governments have given you. And please: Do not be like these people: https://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/news/coronavirus/article241350261.html

Well, now I must disagree. Comparision with per year stats I have made sh ows no reasons for panic nor keeping people at home. If there are such a reasons, they are surely not tied to Covid-19 itself. Outdoor activity is one of the best thinks that helps keeping health I know. Thete is something much different going on.

Hmmmmm, well, better to be safe than sorry. And while we can still go out, we can only go as far as within our direct communities. We may not be able to go to the city unless you have permission or clearance

This topic was simply meant to remind us to stay safe during this pandemic not as a place to go into a deep political argument with no winners or a place to put controversial opinions about COVID-19. So let's please not go into those arguments and this topic has been lock until further notice.
