Hello everyone,
Let me start by quoting Aminiel:
Please pay a particular attention to the information you read and post about coronavirus. Fake news are known to spread faster than official ones. Check sources yourself, and when posting, give your sources by posting a link as much as possible. It would be very sad to forbid discussions on that subject altogether. I count on your good sense and critic thinking.
So, it is selfish and quite racist to say that only weak people and people with chronic diseases who would die from the Coronavirus.
Yes, you as youth have a bigger chance to recover, but it is not a guarantee anyway. Moreover, do think about your parents, they are at risk because of you.
Most importantly, death rates might not be too high, it Is true, however, this virus is a mutation. And when it spreads widely and fast, there is a bigger chance for other mutations that makes it much stronger and much resistant. Hence you would be at risk too, mister selfish.
It is now the responsibility of everyone of us to take care of ourselves and others by following the rules strictly to prevent spreading it.
Therefore, I will remove Ramon-Salazar’s Irresponsible and racist comments, this is your first warning.
For everyone else, please do pay attention to what you post, it would be better if you can post your sources as well.
Finally, here are some helpful safety tips:
• Wash your hands frequently: Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.
• Maintain social distancing: Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
• Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
• Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.
• Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance. Follow the directions of your local health authority.
