How to Survive the Cornovirus?

The coronavirus just recently appeared around the world. First, it hit citizens of China by which it rapidly reached into other parts of the country, even the United States of America. The coronavirus also hit Washington State, where there were elderly people who died in small but large numbers. It has been said that only the elderly were to be infected with the coronavirus, but the stats show otherwise. There are just much as younger people who are tested positive for the coronavirus much more than to die from this dreadful disease. It is unfortunate that babies from 3-6 months are dying as well from the coronavirus as well.
The government of the United States knew beforehand the coming of this coronavirus but brush it off as a "hoax" by which it cost the lives of millions of people across this country. With all the tension that is going on between the Chinese government and that of the Trump Administration concerning the tariff have in fact put people in the cross-fire by which it has been suspected for the responsibility for this bio-chemical dirty virus. Whoever is responsible for the thousands of American people who lost their lives during this pandemic outbreak must be brought to justice for such war crimes. They must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Justice must be served. Without justice, there will be no peace.
Until then we need to focus on how many of us as the American people survive during the coronavirus outbreak. First, it very important that people understand the seriousness of this pandemic without taking lightly that of this dreadful disease. There are people today who walk around as if the coronavirus is only here for a short time even to the point that only elderly people; not them as young people are not going to be infected with the coronavirus. Many of our young people must take this seriously by which to practice "social distancing." Social distancing is not a way to deprive nor punish people for their social gathering but to stop the spread of this dreadful disease. We talk about health and intervention.
Secondly, in order for people to survive the pandemic of the coronavirus is to practice personal hygiene. Health risk put people at risk when there are other people who do not practice personal hygiene. There is a necessity to keep the body clean, brush one's teeth, and proper odor. Washing one's hand with soap for 20 seconds can possibly save the life of a person along with other people so as to not be infected with the spread of pandemic of the coronavirus. It would not be advised for people to put their hands in their face without washing their hands nor to rub one's own hands in the eyes but must always keep their hands clean at all times.
Thirdly, in order to survive is to abide by both local, federal, and state officials by "staying at home" to keep from spreading the coronavirus to others. Even when a person to feel sick or tested positive with the coronavirus is to quarantine for 12-14 days by eating properly the right foods, drinking plenty of fluids, exercise, getting plenty of rest, and nutritional supplement. There are especially those in the Faith community who feel they are not obligated to obey by local and state officials by not gathering together with a large crowd of people during their religious services. It has been reported by the local news and international that there were Faith leaders who was arrested and fined for their defiant of local and state laws (Rom. 13). Even though we are obligated to live by God's law but that God instituted the government to legislate laws to be a deterrent to crimes throughout many of our communities across this country.
Fourthly, last but not least we can help and encourage each other through social media by reaching out and helping one another. It does not mean we can physically be there and hug each other but through social media by practicing social distancing. It is also good that we check on our elderly who are left at home by themselves by calling, shaking hands, waving also their hands at well outside the window. Even though people are not used to social distancing but that until this pandemic is under control or by it passing over it is going to be awhile. We are all in this thing together and we must also look after ourselves, our loved ones, and the people who are around us as well.
It is good that we keep ourselves together while we are at home with our families. There are social activities, crafts, and music that can keep us preoccupied while staying at home. We should never lose hope because fear can actually paralyze people as if the walls of a house is caving in on them. We must rise above fear so as to anticipate hope to a brighter future. Together by the grace of God we as a people are going to come through this epidemic of the coronavirus. Our hope must be anchored in our Creator by which the Creator knows the beginning and end of this pandemic (Rom. 8:28).
I pray and trust that this short article will help and benefit many of you in a way that it will inspire hope and courage within your hearts. Together we can make it together because we are all in this together.
