    In March 2020, the World Health Organization officially classified Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, as a pandemic. That means the disease no longer constitutes just an outbreak or even an epidemic; the coronavirus has now spread around the world, and will continue to reach into other countries and communities.
    That’s in part because of how contagious the virus is. When you’re infected with the flu, it takes about two days before you start to show symptoms. But coronavirus symptoms take an average of five to six days to appear, so it’s easy to spread well before you notice that you’re feeling sick. Many people are spreading it while going about their daily lives as usual.
    The risk is that once coronavirus starts to spread in a community, about 20% of cases are severe and may require hospitalization. As those cases multiply, hospitals can fill up quickly. And people with severe cases of COVID-19 who can’t receive proper medical attention are at a much higher risk of dying.
    Ideally, we would be able to stop the virus from spreading entirely. We can’t do that right now. What we can do is slow it down, so that the severe cases get spread out over a longer period of time, and hospitals are less likely to be overwhelmed on any given day. And that’s where each one of us comes in. The best way to slow down the spread is for everyone - healthy, sick, young, old - to limit social contact as much as possible, immediately. This is called social distancing, and it only works if enough of us do it. But if we do, it could mean the difference between the life and death of someone you know.

      Exactly, foreigners in my country of Vietnam never wear mask at public places. While all locals are wearing mask when going outside, foreigners justify not wearing mask because it will only prevent patients spreading the disease and because they feel "healthy", they don't need to wear any mask. They don't realise that they could be carrying the disease and are unknowingly spreading it to other people. There have been recorded cases in my country where 2 British tourists traveled to Vietnam with Covid-19 and then spreading it to other people in areas where they've traveled to because they didn't take any precautions like wearing mask at public places. The government now demand everyone to wear mask as one way to stop Covid-19 from spreading, even foreigners have to wear mask too.

    People in third world countries can't afford social distancing and don't have jobs that they could do from home. Which is why they still go out and work in public.

      You can still go to work. Those that CAN work from home obviously should definitely do that. What is important is that after work you don't go out to the pub or the cinema. You try constantly to have 1 meter distance "as good as you can"from other people. Of course most people can't just isolate themselves indoors for months, and they shouldn't. Just try your absolutely best to avoid people AS GOOD AS YOU CAN

That’s another thing I’m worried about. There seems to be no concern for people who are already sick. Usually I can go to the hospital if I need to but now I don’t want to. I’m not trying to get this virus on top of an illness I already struggle with. Someone said they had a seizure and had to wait with all the people who thought they had the corona virus. Incidences like this anger me. Anyone who thinks they have the corona virus should be sent to certain areas of the hospital or different facilities. They are interfering with people’s lives who are already sick.

This isn’t spring break people, all you have to do is stay home for a while and stop going out to places where you get in contact with a bunch of people. Literally just get a lot of food, go home and watch a few Netflix series or clean the house. Do something to be occupied for a few weeks. The only reasons you should leave are 1.) if you still have work, 2.) if you are very sick or have to go to the hospital, or 3.) if you have no food and absolutely need to go to the store. That’s it - so that we don’t get on lockdown too. This is for the safety of everyone ladies and gentlemen- stay safe and stay clean. ;)

    The trillion dollar bill they are taking out to help the economy need to be given to these 5 places to help society run and close everything else down: Electricity, Water, food/grocery, and health care... every one else’s bills are HALTED, No rent or Mortgage. no one owes anyone for the next 2 months. If no one owes anyone, no one has to work and no one stresses. Everyone can stay home and quarantine. This will also reduce the awful lay offs happening. As well as reduce potential crime and violence, as gun sales are at an all time high today with people anticipating having to protect themselves. We can avoid all this, taking scarcity and survival mentality off of everyone. This would be a good starting point.
