Thoughts on the Coronavirus

I’d like to share some quick thoughts on the coronavirus; mainly the racist rhetoric surrounding the virus. I’ve heard quite a few people, both online and in real life, say that people should “stay away from Asians” and whatnot. I would like to debunk this BS right now and say this: “staying away” from Asians won’t do anything. Not now. The disease has spread outside of China, so now, it is affecting more than just Asians. If people were to apply the “staying away from Asians” logic to other groups, they’d essentially be advocating to stay away from everyone! They’d be advocating for people to just stay indoors all day and not go outside at all. There would be no going to work, no going to school, no going to the store. None of that! Just lock your doors and stay home indefinitely. That sounds ridiculous as heck! Just because the coronavirus is something to be feared does not mean people should put their lives on hold simply because it is a threat. There will always be threats and dangers that this world will face regardless of what we do. If we want to truly experience life and live life to the fullest, we have to take risks and chances, even if that may mean it could be our time to go at any moment. We cannot control when or how we will die. If it’s our time to go, it’s our time to go. We cannot control that. All we can do is hope for the best, and try to live life to the fullest, and live it without regrets!
