Wow. In just a week we've gone from the stock market hitting its all time high, to a week when the market lost over $3trillion. We went from hearing about a faraway flu called coronavirus, to cases popping up in the U.S. and worldwide. Hopefully our leaders will let doctors keep us informed as to how bad it is and what to expect. Hoping for a "miracle" doesn't help.
We were talking about the virus at the dog park today. One person's international trip had been cancelled, another had a Disney cruise cancelled, and I had a tour of the Amazon fulfillment center in San Bernardino cancelled. They are not having any tours there until further notice.
The coronavirus is easily transmitted from person to person, so here are a few tips. I went to CVS today to look for hand sanitizers. They were all sold out. My friend Karen gave us all a great tip to use in place of hand sanitizers. Use rubbing alcohol, at least 70%. Use a funnel to put it in a little bottle with a pump, and voila, you have hand sanitizer. It will be a bit drying, but after cleaning hands, use some hand lotion. Don't mix them together.
Wash your hands frequently, and keep things like your cell phone or phone at an office clean. Keep your desk clean too, if you still work in an office. Don't touch your hands to your face, mouth or nose, especially if you have been out touching things like money, shopping carts and doors to buildings. Keep washing your hands and sanitizing with rubbing alcohol.
We need to pressure our leaders to keep us honestly informed of the situation. Keeping us in the dark is not the answer. Stay safe, everyone.
