coronavirus is out there and im scared for my life.
5 years ago
if you are not in the know, novel (meaning new) coronavirus is a new type of virus that hasn't been seen in humans ever. it has infected a lot of people in china where it originated and has spread to many countries including the us. while tons and tons of people have been infected in china there has only been 5 in the us, and i fear that i may or may not be the sixth. i have been feeling pretty nauseous recently, not to mention i have been breathing pretty slowly. which granted might be due to my anxiety disorder but still it worries the hell out of me because this virus has more than proven to be deadly! there has been around 70 already or more depending on when i publish this. and if you dont believe me just look at the news. at this point i dont care that much if i throw up or not i would just like to live another day if i can! thankfully coronoviruses are known to go away on their own, so if i'm lucky i might still be ok.
so yeah the situation may be very dire and somewhat scary. but its important to stay calm and to always have hope! whether you have the virus or not, dont give up. but also be safe and cautious. read up on this stuff at least a little. make sure you wipe down doorknobs and other surfaces to make sure there isn't anything on it. wear a mask and gloves if your caring for someone who is sick if possible. and while this maybe a given, but always wash your hands! especially before touching your eyes, nose or mouth. i'm sorry for being so preachy but i feel this information is important.
(and before anyone says. yes, i know this is ironic coming from someone who drew fart/scat fetish art in the past. but i dont believe that makes what im saying any less true.)

The chance of coming into contact with someone with the corona virus in North America is extremely low. The common flu kills between 20,000 and 80,000 people each year in the world. So far, the corona virus has only killed around 106 people in the world. That's mostly in China, where medical care for the masses isn't really that great. The few people who might catch it in North America, are a lot less likely to die from it, because even our messed up medical care is still far better than what most people in China can get.
The vast majority of colds, flus, and stuff like the corona virus, are caught because people simply don't wash their hands after touching something that was recently contaminated. The most important time to wash hands is after touching surfaces in busy public areas, and before eating or preparing food.
