And Who Are You?? I’m COVID-19

Happy New Year🎉, it’s 2020!...Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️... Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ —ummm, well maybe not. Over the past several weeks, the world has been introduced to COVID-19🦠. No need for me to explain what it is or where it came from. Just turn on the TV or check out social media. As of today, more than 22,000 American citizens have been infected and close to 300 deaths. Italy had nearly 800 deaths in a DAY!! I have to admit, initially I thought this would be something that would die down in a few weeks. However the alarming numbers of infected and deaths have changed my perspective. I also believe the media is making our blood pressure and anxiety levels rise. I saw something on the news that read “deadly virus” when in fact approximately 70-80% infected with COVID-19 recovers from the virus. So saying “deadly virus” will make people believe if they test positive, they’re going to die, but that is not necessarily the case. Please go to cdc.gov to retrieve the most updated and accurate information; and how to protect yourself and your family. Since the world is slowly shutting down and we are quarantined for a minimum of 14 days (at least for now) due to COVID-19, sanitize your home, sprinkle love on your loved ones, catch up on your favorite TV shows/movies, reflect on your life (how can you improve), mend relationships (if necessary- otherwise don’t, lol), get your finances in order, workout/exercise, stock up on household necessities and pray more! Please refrain from a whole lot of online shopping (it will only increase your debt during this pandemic) and don’t eat all the quarantine snacks too quickly- you’ll have to work harder to get those extra pounds off! Try your best to follow the government guidelines and go out only if it’s essential.

This is definitely an eye opener for all of us. The Universe is slowing us down to bring us together. We will get through this! Please be safe, stay home and WASH YOUR HANDS!!
