Opinion: Will You Be Next To Get Coronavirus?
Are you being smart or are you taking stupid chances?

Freedom is something in the last two weeks we have once again realized How much we love and cherish . Being told to stay indoors, work from home, can’t go to plays, sporting events, restaurants or have drinks in bars is bothering us. Yet we all know the stakes, but some of us are in denial, while others believe this just can’t happen to me. Too many of us love the gamble of ignoring the situation, too few are actually quarantining properly.
Your health future is not in your hands but is a germ/virus being carried by some stranger you may pass, bump into, or touch what they just touched. It’s getting close to the time all the warnings are over and all the results come in.
Will you die? Can you die? Maybe yes if you don’t start taking this situation serious. You are in charge of you. You must be prudent. Otherwise you may end up on a long line for a short list of ventilators. Or be on a sheet in a chair waiting for a hospital bed, or worst.
