Let’s Survive COVID-19

Each of us has some measure of responsibility in limiting and preventing the spread of this disease. 

Allowing fear to run wild will not help anyone, including yourself. This article is written to hopefully calm those fears with providing some light, understanding, and knowledge but also make it known that COVID-19 is very serious and dangerous. 

This disease started when cases of pneumonia with unknown causes broke out in clusters and was identified around December 31, 2019 in Wuhan, China. 

Then on January 7, 2020 it was confirmed those pneumonia clusters were associated with a novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), now named COVID-19. 

It seems to be believed that COVID-19 was caused by SARS-CoV-2 that causes severe illness and pneumonia. 

Now, a lot of people are acting like it’s no big deal. They think COVID-19 is simply flu symptoms which we deal with every year. But in reality COVID-19 is a very serious illness and situation. 

COVID-19 may only give some people a sore throat and Fever but for others it is very devastating. They become so sick that they are on Ventilators in the hospital fighting for their life and some don’t make it. 

One of the huge problems we’re facing is the lack of ventilator machines to help these people.

The hospitals only have so many and with the spread of this virus growing as rapidly as it is, there’s not enough machines to help everyone in need of them.  

The importance of us all working together to control the spread of COVID-19 is at the highest. The reality is, it’s not the medical workers job or the governments job to stop COVID-19 on their own. They can’t, we must each do our part for it to be successful. 

We All truly need to work together for the safety of ourselves, our families, our loved ones, our communities, our state, and our Country. Remember the words of “United we stand “, because those words have meaning in these hard times. They’re also the words to get us through this epidemic. 

This is a time for every one of us to use common sense. There is no need to panic but there is a need for understanding. 

I’ve worked in the medical field, in the hospitals, for a while and I’m still in contact with the RNs I worked with. 

Please believe that this is a very serious situation… because it is. 

But also believe that freaking out and panicking is over exaggerating the situation, because it is. 

Right now at this very moment everyone just stop. Stop and take a slow deep breath, clear your mind and begin to think clearly. Start using the common sense that each of us have. 

What if it was your loved one? Think about that for a moment. 

Acting like nothing is going on, is only helping the spread of this disease. 

Being in a panic, is only helping the spread of this disease.

Neither of those behaviors are helpful at all. In fact, both are only making matters worse by contributing to the escalation of complete chaos, causing the spread of COVID-19 to significantly increase. 

Stop being the person that is helping the disease grow and 

Start being the person to help conquer and illuminate the spread. 

We need to cooperate and work together. 

Remember, every choice you make right now, will affect each of us, including you and your family, sooner than you think. Be safe and help stop the spread of this COVID-19 disease.
