Whoa sick

The world has been struggling with a viral pandemic since the turn of the decade. Governments and people are either doing very little too late or entirely overreacting. Authoritarian California is shooting at the feet, going as far as to essentially make all public loitering a misdemeanor. It's not worth poking the bear on this, since lives are actually at stake.

For weeks, I've been taking several precautions short of hoarding. I want to delay the spread of this coronavirus to my housemates, or avoid it entirely. One of them inundates himself for hours, twice daily, with coronavirus news. This obsession concerns me, since anxiety rattles the immune system.

Many are taking this time to call and write out to loved ones. As you can see, so am I. Wherever you are, I pray that you're keeping safe from the virus. Please be healthy, be happy, and keep going with a level head.
