You’ve probably had enough of the terms “social distancing” and “flattening the curve”. Mostly, these are terms we never knew existed until a few weeks ago. Now they’re everywhere.
I know there are still people who think it doesn’t apply to them. They’re healthy, they don’t get sick. The thing is, it’s not all about you. It’s also about the people you could come in contact with. And the people they could come in contact with.
You may be the healthiest, most robust person around and completely believe the doctors and medical professionals don’t have a clue what they’re talking about. That doesn’t mean you can’t pass this along to someone who could truly be harmed by it.
Or maybe you think it doesn’t matter. We’re all going to get it anyway.
That’s the whole point of flattening the curve. Maybe we will all get it. But if we can avoid all getting it at the exact same time we maybe avoid blowing up the health care system.
So follow the rules and all the suggestions, at least for a little while. It’s not just about you. It’s about everyone else around you, too.
