Common Sense Most Important For Us All In These Times

As Americans and everybody around the entire world goes through this dread known as corona virus COVID-19 pandemic, just a few thoughts as this situation is upon us all. Perhaps crisis is a better term to describe it. At this point, we all have questions regarding current times.
It's Easter Sunday and Passover was also this past week and millions of people celebrate these days as they have special meaning. It is a lot different this time around with the "social distancing" in place and people all around the globe doing their part to help stem the tide of the corona virus that has sickened so many and also killed nearly 111,000 people world wide to date.
Terrible news. 
However, it is said if we all continue to practice the distance and self quarantining, eventually things will start to improve. Nature cannot be rushed it is said and this is no different. As Dr. Anthony Fauci, medical expert on diseases has said - The virus will determine the time line of when things can get back to the way they were before this happened.
Mankind cannot dictate the exact time or place as to when the pandemic is declared over and done with. At least not until a vaccine is developed, which is supposedly about a year (possibly sooner) away. We all can hope for that day to come sooner rather than later.
Common sense is necessary and there is much speculation running rampant from everybody, especially political figures around the world regarding COVID-19. Financial experts talk about opening the economy here in the United States as soon as the beginning of May. Let's be honest (using common sense) . . . that is highly unlikely to happen.
Many people are hurting financially as over 17 million people have lost jobs in the past three weeks alone and a severe recession looms over the country. But we cannot rush things along and put people in harms way just to stem the tide of the damage being done to the economy. People must be tested to show either negative or positive results regarding COVID-19 to prevent further spreading.
The same can be said of sporting events which have been shut down for the past month. We cannot have huge crowds gathering to see a game until everybody involved (players and fans and everyone else alike) is tested for the virus. When it's a safe time for sports to continue, then do so. But not until otherwise deemed safe by the medical experts.
Here at Heftyinfo, criticism of the Trump Administration for the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic is obvious. It has been pretty much a complete failure and continues to lag around as the death toll mounts, particularly in New York City.
Common sense tells us we must do what are the recommended things to stay safe and either not pass along or contract the virus, which could be fatal. If a person gets the virus, most will suffer symptoms, whether mild or more severe, but do eventually recover as over 400,000 such cases worldwide so far indicate.
To put things simply, as we go about our daily lives it's important to realize we are not alone as we self isolate and practice the good hygiene necessary to stay healthy and protect ourselves and others. Having family, friends and loved ones to support and support us all individually is important and goes a long way in getting through things on a day-to-day basis. Prayers and meditation along with some exercising also is important to stay healthy both mentally and physically.
Here's hoping a vaccine can be found in a rapid manner, but in the meantime, let's just all do our part and be grateful and thankful to all those still working hard and battling the virus. The doctors and nurses and medical staffs and hospital staffs world wide. The grocery store workers and the truckers and shipping people who get the products and food to the stores and keep it stocked for all of us.
These folks continue to put themselves at high risk of getting the virus and yet continue forward with their jobs. Same with the postal workers nationwide who could be in danger of losing their jobs as funding is needed to keep up with the high demands the United States Postal Service is performing in these perilous times.
As the days and weeks go by until a real sense of "normal life" returns, let us all continue on and keep the faith and hold each other up in as much of a positive spirit as possible.
Stay safe and be smart everybody and let's keep it real.
