Friends, I’m going to say this as plainly as I can: people are dying from COVID-19. A lot of people.
This isn’t a US-only problem, it is a worldwide pandemic that isn’t going to get better until we have a vaccine. But until we have one, we are going to have to take proper precautions. We are going to have to wear masks in public, and social distance. We have to take it seriously as a group, all of us, every single one of us. Whether we’ve been personally affected or not.
200,000 dead is not just a number. Those were real people, who had real lives, and just because you didn’t have a connection with them doesn’t mean that their deaths shouldn’t give you an overwhelming pause. All of this, every safety precaution, is an example of love and empathy for your fellow humans. So wear your mask, wash your hands, keep your distance, and take this virus as the real deal. Lives are depending on it.
