As a responsible moderator in this sub-forum I will not allow any threads to continue that quote political commentators, or other persons who are not qualified epidemiologists, virologists, or medical or other health professionals when it comes to this pandemic. Get your information from qualified sources (CDC, local medical or other professional health personnel) -- and practice social distancing.

Social distancing is the #1 preventive of the spread. It is of primary importance because you could be a carrier and remain perfectly healthy, but communicate the virus to those who are vulnerable. Use masks, gloves and/or any other appropriate precautions when you must have closer social contact.

We may all be interested in the astrology of what is going on now in the world, but only topics that remain focused on the astrological factors are appropriate in this sub-forum.

Of course, you are perfectly free to say whatever measures you are taking to maintain your own health and to look out for others, but do try to keep things centered on astrology.

Thank you.

I would have understood it more if you decided to MOVE THE THREAD to another section of this forum BUT you closed it and I feel that is inappropriate. At the very least you could have asked me to remove the article before you took the route of closing the thread but it triggered you that I responded to your comment with this article and you used your power to shut me up bc you don't agree with the article.

^^This article had a wide range of opinions and it was clearly a well written opinion piece and you shut my thread down over it bc there were some conservative figures mentioned!

Tbh the article is right

People have this idea that since its like a reinforced flu that we should just relax but that really isn't the case. This virus is stressing and overworking the hell out of hospitals and as a society we cant afford to have that happen when there's other patients in need for non-virus related reasons.

We really need to practice social distancing, cause now even the younger people are suffering from the illness too. Especially those with asthma, or those that smoke

This time had to come for humanity to realize many things that had forgotten... Some awaken with a soft breeze, others need a hurricane to awaken...

Lastly, it's fundamental to spread calmness and love, to have compassion for the sick and for the ones panicking. To take responsible actions and to unite as one, one humanity. We are all connected and the same, we are all equal regardless of gender, skin colour, how much money in the bank we have and so on, and this is just one of the things this virus is teaching.

Time to reflect, for self care, to meditate, to implement practical new ways in health systems and other systems, we all knew these (systems) all had to crumble so a new way can come in... Also, turn off your TV if it all causes you anxiety. It's fundamental to care for your physical and mental health.

I understand some of what you are trying to say in your post, but I think you're going about it the wrong way. I think your post veers very close to being a false reassurance and also ignorant.

I also suspect that your post is making fun of my handwashing suggestion. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am. It's not very helpful during a pandemic to make fun of something that could potentially save a life.

Please educate yourself. Follow the CDC guidelines. Listen to what your government officials are telling you to do. It would be foolish to ignore all of the accurate, reliable information available to you during a pandemic.

Is each our own responsibility to do our best to keep ourselves safe, I am not responsible for anyone dying over this, there is too much about this that is not in our control and nobody wants to be in this situation we are in. Now if we are going to stay stuck at home we can try to do some self care and relax ect, that doesn't mean we are excited this is all happening like we get excited when we go on a vacation.

Tbh, it's not about "what's fair." It's about what's safe for the public. We're all safer if we practice these things. If you don't do these things and scoff in the face of a pandemic (not that I think you would, you're smarter than that) then I would consider you absolutely one of the people who are spreading this.
