I’m Not A Health Professional, But You Should Really Wash Your Hands

In the midst of a Coronavirus pandemic, logical and cautious decision making can literally save lives.

Hopefully we don’t need to tell grown adults to practice good hygiene, but here we are.

First thing’s first, I am not any sort of health professional. I hold no formal training nor do I profess to have all (or even any) of the answers. I am just a normal guy who is paying attention to current events in the world like everyone else.

Enter: Coronavirus.

Recently classified by the World Health Organization as a Pandemic, the virus is spreading throughout the world at alarming rates, causing entire schools and colleges to close, whole countries to be on lockdown, the NBA to suspend ALL games, and we are beginning to hear about celebrities, athletes, politicians, and public figures being infected. People are dying.

So, why is some random guy on the internet writing about it?

I’m 34 years old and (I think) healthy. Statistically, if I were to contract the virus, I’d probably be okay. Though, the entire experience would suck.

I’ve seen many of my peers of a similar age say the same thing. What they’re also saying, though, is that this means they’re not going to take any preventative action.
