Reality: The coronavirus is a fairly innocuous bug to most people with many who are infected not even realizing that they have it.

Reality: There is a small percentage of people who will experience severe complications from this virus. Most of them have serious underlying preexisting health conditions.

Reality: The pros of keeping our country up and running outweigh the cons of shutting things down.

Reality: Laughter, joy, socializing is a great stress reliever that improves overall health - both physically and mentally.

Reality: Children (K-12), in general, do better with face to face school instruction and in person interaction with their peers.

Reality: Fear, anxiety and isolation lower the quality of life and contribute to health declines - both physical and mental.

Reality: I think people care about their fellow human beings we just have different ways of showing that we care.

And, finally, I have only heard one side of this argument say things like "I hope you die", "I'll spit in your face" or "Get near me and I'll kill you". If you find yourself saying these kinds of things, give a long hard look as to what kind of social media you are on and what news networks you are listening to. Mainstream media is not the fair, balanced news that we grew up listening to.
