Corona-virus Scaries

This virus has quite literally taken over the world. From China to Italy, throughout the Middle East and all the way to Wake County in North Carolina...it is affecting everyone's sanity. Students that chose to spend their semesters abroad in Europe are being sent back to their homes in the United States and their cultural journey was cut short.

Although people in America are panicking as though World War III has started, if you do the appropriate research about the Corona-Virus, it isn't as scary as people are making it out to be. You can compare it very closely with the flu. When looking deeper into what this virus truly is, one would know that it isn't an airborne disease, but a droplet disease. This means it is spread via bodily fluids. So, to all of you wearing masks everywhere you go, that doesn't prevent you from getting the "Corona scaries." If you want to take precaution, make sure you are washing your hands repeatedly throughout the day for 30 seconds at a time. If you think about it, we should be doing that anyways, but turns out...you guys are NASTY.

Washing your hands like you are supposed to with soap and warm water makes you less susceptible to contract the virus. Also, hand sanitizer doesn't count, that is anti-bacterial not anti-viral.

The media is creating quite the monster out of this virus and people are soaking it in like sponges without any thought to question it. Do your research and wash your hands, you should be fine.
