Believes common sense precautions can help with virus
We’re in about the 10th month since COVID-19 attacked. A lot of people are very paranoid over it. I have always been careful when in public about hand to face touching. Also, I have always used hand sanitizers after shopping, etc. There is a common sense factor that many people are missing. I wear a face mask most times in public, but that is as a courtesy to those I meet. If people that are sick or have symptoms of any sort should protect others by staying at home, problem solved. My mother was isolated in a nursing home and was tested positive for the virus. Does isolation really work? My wife ran a daycare for years, and when the cold and flu season started, parents were encouraged to keep a sick child at home. If we used common sense, this epidemic, if it is one, could be controlled. What amazes me is that no one is dying from cancer, heart disease, old age or natural causes since this epidemic. I will agree COVID is real, but there are other things killing us. Wake up folks.
Maybe if Joe is the winner he can save us. God help us!
God Bless America!
