Diversity Makes Greatness
Hello midcan5,
Distancing is the most effective method of defending from the coronavirus.Originally Posted by midcan5
If two individuals never come within close proximity or exchange anything physical upon which the virus particles might be carried, then it is impossible for transmission to occur.
Naturally, it is impossible to remain safely distant and never touch anything that someone else has recently touched.
So the challenge becomes a trade-off between maximizing safety and living your life.
The danger is the risk of becoming complacent.
It would be dangerous thinking to say: "Well I did [such and such] and it didn't result in me getting sick, so that action can be safely repeated."
That is incorrect.
Every instance carries a risk.
Don't let your guard down. Ever.
Even when others do, even when other people around you are acting like there is no risk, that does not mean there is no risk.
Protect yourself, protect others around you.
Together, we can fight this war between all humans on one side, and a virus on the other, and together we can win it.
Those who are being diligent are to be commended.

Anti-vaxxers are coming out of the woodwork now. Given our death toll you'd think there would be more positive support.

A close relative won't wear masks either!

There’s no putting a face mask on a 300-plus-pound gorilla, but they can potentially be quarantined. A veterinarian explains.
