Stop expecting and waiting for the government to take care of you. If people would take care of themselves the government would not have to step in; it would just have to make recommendations, under the expectation that the info is being given to adults who would listen and take heed. Instead, we have huge numbers of “me, me, me” people who say it doesn’t apply to “me”, it won’t happen to “me”, and no one will stop “me” from doing what I want, when I want, and regardless of how it affects everyone but “me”.

Businesses should close or implement work from home because it’s the right thing to do to protect their employees and customers.

People should stay home because that is what they have been advised to do and so they don’t get sick.

The press should report on the situation accurately and not sensationalize it to further their underlying agenda and gain viewership (to attract advertisers).

Our governments should be able to use their resources to combat the disease, not deal with stupid people who refuse to act responsibly and heed the advice of the experts.

‘Nuff said.
