A lot of things are different but still the same as last week- restaurants are closed except for carry-out (in most places), nobody can find toilet paper or bleach, people are working from home or even laid off, now all non-essential stores in KY are closing at the end of business today.
What can you do to help stop the spread of this virus? STAY HOME!! The more people that stay isolated, the faster the virus will stop spreading and we can go back to a more normal life. If you absolutely cannot stay home, please take precautions including staying at least 6 feet from another person, disinfecting surfaces, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, and please, please stay home if you are sick.
We all need to stick together during this time. And this time, sticking together means staying apart. We are going to see an increase in positive cases because of more people getting tested and the tests being easily accessible. Please educate yourselves and don’t live in fear! Don’t judge people based on ethnicity. Don’t buy up all the products- you WANT other people to wash their hands and disinfect their homes to prevent spreading this virus. Don’t let this virus break your spirit! Use this time to do some things you’ve been putting off like cleaning out your closet, bathe your pet, clean out the garage, meditate, learn that new hobby.
Please save the masks and gloves for those who are directly serving the sick- healthcare workers, first responders, and even grocery store employees. Please do your part to help those helping others by allowing them to have the supplies and staying home!
