Since 3 days ago I haven’t touched a single thing without washing my hands and at work I wiped and sprayed my entire hotel with antibacterial spray and wipes. Idk about y’all but I’m not playing with this one.

Good Lord, we had no idea what was coming.

"It will look nothing like Hollywood movies.. like the 2011 movie Contagion."
Thats funny...the video of the body bags and people in full PPE in Wuhan China look alot like that movie.

Notice at 2:57 the ladies are laughing when the reporter says they’ve been using hand sanitizer frequently. They had no idea.

[caroldavis]

I worked in isolation hospital rooms I can't count all the mistakes that have been made. Every thing patients touch is contaminated!

[dpopoca]

One year later many have sadly passed away :(

[therenewedmind]

[JaredHendrixed]

dudes got the mark of the beast in the thumbnail.

[ィンマーテ]

Whats even worse, mosquito season is near. mosquitos will transfer that a lot faster.

[dante]

The amount of “it’s just a flu, ” I’ve been hearing from colleagues, my town at least is not ready. The fact that I asked my boss if we have a plan, and he said nope, says we aren’t ready.
