CORONAVIRUS UPDATES

LOVE IN THE TIME OF THE CORONAVIRUS

"Sharing meals, hand-holding, and kissing can spread the coronavirus, but Covid-19 can't stop people from looking for love. Health experts around the world have been recommending that people reduce unnecessary physical contact with other people, such as shaking hands or kissing on the cheek. Even the French have recommended no cheek kissing."
However, couples still hug and kiss each other, and children continue to display their love by kissing their parents. Will this show of physical affection spell the end of civilization as we know it?

If you are pessimistic, then the answer is yes. But if you're like me, then you should just relax and take it easy. Stay home, keep your distance from people and you'll be okay for the duration. Remember this is not our first pandemic and it most certainly won't be the last.
Just don't panic, follow the rules and try to make the best of it while it lasts. Love will find its way, no matter what.  And this "no hugs or kissing" warning will soon pass too!

This is what health experts recommend:
"You can still greet each people warmly and politely without touching them, by bumping elbows or fists, tapping feet (the “Wuhan shake” popular on social media), simply waving hi, or one of the many other creative suggestions that are popping up online. This isn’t about making extreme changes to our social interactions; it’s about taking simple steps to help reduce your risk of disease."
