Coronavirus humor

That is up those individuals that actually are in the line of fire to decide on how they handle these types of situations. Not anyone else, IMO! Have a safe and healthy day. I have a family member as a professional health care worker and personally finds no humor in trying to alleviate any stress related to this; PERIOD! Not as it relates to patients, but also as a worker! It is not something being relished. Overwhelmed is putting it mildly. We are talking porential total chaos and a breakdown of hospitals. Just imagine.

I want you to just think big picture. Think like Fauchi is saying. Think what Governor Cuomo just conveyed, if you want to comprehend about the real potential problems. Open your mind. Think out of the box.

The big picture is this--Coronavirus is but one variant of the seasonal flu strains which plague civilization year-round. Seasonal flu in the US has killed at least 22,000 citizens and sickened another 36 million plus.

These figures are the reality of healthcare workers in the United States and around the world. To be sure, the virus is a nasty one, however, the Coronavirus is but another in a long list of ailments afflicting civilization. We'll get through it.

Causes of death in the US for 2018:

Heart disease: 647,457
Cancer: 599,108
medical mistakes approx 250,000 (added by me per Johns Hopkins study)
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 169,936
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 160,201
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 146,383
Alzheimer’s disease: 121,404
Diabetes: 83,564
Influenza and pneumonia: 55,672
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 50,633
Intentional self-harm (suicide): 47,173

Coronavirus--59. We don't want that toll any higher than necessary so take precautions and stay home if you're sick.

Now, I'm off in search of paper towels...
