Time for me to rant about the coronavirus.

I understand that this virus is changing things and making life “inconvenient” for some but for 3 weeks (or more), deal with it for your family, for your elderly neighbor or for your healthcare workers.

So please, here are a few things to do:

1. Don’t go ANYWHERE

We are supposed to be “social distancing”. Which means don’t go anywhere you don’t need to. This includes grocery shopping (unless you absolutely need something), church, parks, the bar or any events that have not been cancelled (which they should be!).

2. Don’t get people together

There is a reason we are supposed to be social distancing, so why bring people together? If you care about anyone, do everything you can to not pass on the virus to them. This includes birthday parties (parties can be rescheduled!), going out to eat or inviting people over. I get it, you’re bored but I’d much rather be bored than sick or dead.

3. Pick up a hobby or do something inside

Still bored? Pick up a hobby or figure out something to do inside. Color, paint, draw. Do a puzzle. Buy a video game. Get Disney+ or Hulu. Or maybe spring clean? Do something but for the love of god, stay home and stay inside.

4. Quarantine Yourself

If you are sick, quarantine yourself. Lock yourself on a separate floor or in a separate room. & Don’t go to the doctor. Call them first. They last thing you want to do is spread it to the elderly patient waiting in the waiting room or the child you just passed in the parking lot.

5. Quit Whining

I get it.. this sucks. It isn’t ideal. But we are all going through it so suck it up and stop whining. As long as you are safe and your family is safe then there isn’t much else to complain about.

Rant over.
