Courtney Ford Instagram – So, still seeing people I know and love not taking this whole thing seriously, or if we dig deep into the psychology, not wanting to take it seriously due to fear of facing fear. So, no time for nice shit. There are people who are immunocompromised out there with preexisting conditions. If you think you don’t know anyone at risk, well hi there, you know me. I have scarring in my lungs from a previous bout of bilateral pneumonia. My grandmother is in assisted living. From our family to yours: stop being an asshole. _ Seasonal flu mortality rate: 0.1% Coronavirus mortality rate: 1%-2% At the LOWEST end, that is TEN TIMES MORE DEADLY, and that’s if hospitals are well equipped to handle the flood of patients. Reach out to some doctors and nurses. Listen to what they have to say. _ The virus is also more contagious than the seasonal flu. It’s lasting longer on surfaces: 24 hrs for cardboard, 2-3 days for steel and plastic, 4 days for glass. They still found virus on cruise ships after 17 days. Wipe your shit down. Denial as a defense mechanism is human, but not helpful. Stop being an asshole. _ 📷 @effinbirds
