Let's be safe out there!

Car accidents kill thousands. Are you going to stop driving? The flu kills thousands. Are you going to hide every fall? Hospitals kill thousands through mistakes and wrong diagnosis. Are you going to stay home in bed if you are ill to avoid the chance it could be you next? I won't even mention cigarettes and alcohol and other self inflicted killers.The list goes on and so does life. This country, it's workers and it's children need to get back to work and school. This needs to run it's course like any other Virus. Covid 19 is a modified cold virus. They have never been able to cure the common cold so what makes you think they will cure this. Take precautions but let's live our lives or at least let those of us who want to live ours without taking away the few pleasures we have left live theirs.
