7 Myths About the Coronavirus that we NEED to Dubunk

The media tends to only focus on the extremes and the negatives, causing people to panic. Here are some important facts about COVID-19 that are seperate from media outlets.

The Coronavirus is FATAL

Yes, people are dying from the virus. But many many many more are recovering fully!

You can get the virus from packages

Studies show that there has been no trace of the virus on shipment from international areas.

Your pets can catch and spread the virus

No true or proven.

Face masks prevent the spread of the virus

If you do not have covid-19, it will not protect you from catching the virus. They do however prevent the spread from person to person (if you already tested postive for the virus).

You NEED to run out and stock up on goods NOW

Yes, prepare for the worst but do NOT over do it. Many people are struggling just to get ONE bottle of hand sanitizer or ONE pack of toilet paper, Stores are sold out worldwide.

The coronavirus is extremely dangerous

No virus is a good thing however; the coronavirus is not any more dangerous than what we have encountered before.

Banning travel and transportation will stop the virus from spreading

The virus will continue to spread regardless and take it's natural course.

Please continue to stay safe and to practice good hygiene!!!! Follow respected media outlets and take precaution depending on the status of your state or country.

If your area is under lockdown (like mine) do the best you can to limit social interaction. It is scary but you are not alone.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
