Common sense - where is it?

Watching the news over COVID-19 and seeing panic.  Yes totally get it. People are dying and no cure or vaccine yet. What I don't get is people losing their common sense.  Stocking up on items for the year and wiping out items like hand sanitizers.  How many do you really need? Do you realize that by purchasing ALL of them off the shelf the next person has nothing? Seriously all those little plastic bottles in your home? Now the person you run into hasn't disinfected their hands because they had nothing to use, because they are all at your house. Common sense? Nope.

Masks! Don't get me started. Let's pay attention to how often we touch our face. A lot. Studies show when you wear a mask you touch your face more often because you are adjusting the mask. Feeling if it is still okay. You hand automatically goes up there. Hence you are touching your face more and what about taking it off incorrectly?  Hmmm..... infected yourself. Well done.  Leave the masks at the hospitals where they belong.

Yes wash your hands. Which you should have been doing BEFORE this. Get a flu shot. Can you imagine if social media reported on people dying who didn't get their flu shot like they are reporting on COVID-19!  Something to think about.

Last Facebook isn't the World Health Organization (WHO). So go to their site not your friends or any post that doesn't come from CDC, your own health department or WHO.  The rest of it is scare tactics to increase someone circulation.  Common sense.  Get your news at reputable sites.
