We're not just fighting an epidemic; we're fighting an infodemic.” The ease through which inaccuracies and conspiracies can be repeated and perpetuated via social media and conventional outlets puts public health at a constant disadvantage. It is the rapid dissemination of trustworthy information—transparent identification of cases, data sharing, unhampered communication, and peer-reviewed research—which is needed most during this period of uncertainty. There may be no way to prevent a COVID-19 pandemic in this globalised time, but verified information is the most effective prevention against the disease of panic.
People are sending Email to me that drip with panic - such Email is pointless. If you are concerned with the pools, which the CDC state are safe, don't go to the pools, if you are concerned with the Clubhouse, don't go to the Clubhouse, don't presume to deny others the use of pools or the Clubhouse, which are a principal source of recreation, the Clubhouse has been severely restricted, in accord with CDC guidance. The doctrine of Social Distancing of course applies, be it at a pool the Clubhouse or anywhere else - observe it! Don't gather in numbers.
As of March 24, there are a many thousands of coronavirus cases and some thousands of deaths. This flu season 17 MILLION people saw doctors for the flu, at LEAST 390,000 people were hospitalized with the flu, and so far between 23,000-59,000 flu deaths have been reported we do not see the global press ranting on about the flu. In the 1918 Flu pandemic, 30 million died globally Flu s quite contagious as well, and it comes back every year. Can we put things into perspective please?! It's a VIRUS. More people die from TB! Meanwhile "THEY" are putting measures in place that threaten our freedom and security.
I repeat, panic is pointless!
We are not being panic we are trying to be smart and care about our village.
ReplyDelete!
I am also not panicking just concerned that our residents are taking the proper precautions.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave
ReplyDeleteI see some of our residents are not taking proper precautions. Me and my husband are keeping our distance, not having any guests, or anyone else in our condo. I just shop once a week at Publix. If everyone did their part we can get over this. The worse thing is to panic.
ReplyDeleteSorta sounds like another President....................""Meanwhile "THEY" are putting measures in place that threaten our freedom and security."" Totally shocked by this comment.
