Sorry for the downer poem, it’s not how I really feel, but how I am responding to the media coverage of this potentially serious development. There are many, many things to worry about this week, from political to medical items. We hear about things so quickly these days, it can seem overwhelming as there is no space in between reports.

The basic mechanisms for staying healthy remain the same: wash your hands, don’t poke at your face, wash your hands, cover your face if you sneeze/cough, wash your hands, don’t share eating utensils or foods, wash your hands, eat right, wash your hands…

Wash your hands. Please.
