Your Best Defense Against the Virus?

It's you.

You don't need the government to tell you what to do.  Use common sense. 

I live on an island where our current case load is 12 (with no deaths) in a population of 50,000.  Of those 12 cases, 9 were exposed through travel, 1 through the community at large, 1 through contact with a confirmed case, and 1 case is currently under investigation.

What does this tell me?  Be smart.  Stay safe.  Stay home.  This week I will grocery shop, and go to the laundry.  That's it.  I'll be there when the grocery store opens - in/out, quick shop with a list.  Laundry?  I'll be there when it opens, will sit outside and read until the laundry is done.

I go for a walk every morning at sunrise when no one else is out and and about.  Then home to read, watch telly, play cards on computer, surf the net, cook, sit on my balcony.  It sure beats being sick.

Stay smart.  Stay safe.  Stay home whenever possible.  Stay well.
