We have reached the point where almost "everybody's" got a story about Coronavirus.
Please don't measure my sweeping generalization above in the same category as our President's use of the indefinite pronoun "everybody."
My assumption about all these varying opinions is not at all based on simply looking in the mirror and seeing that other person nodding at me, thus confirming my facts or conclusions any time the word "everybody" comes rolling out of my mouth.
No, my conclusion is based on more than just my own personal agreeable mirror friend.
After all, it's got to be cuz I really don't like looking in the mirror too often cuz my mirror friend and confidante is pretty scary looking, especially when I have my glasses on!
No, I've read various views from various types of media and heard numerous takes on how all of us should react to the Coronavirus.
Some of this information comes from experts in the medical profession or from politicians around the country trying their very best to do their job by issuing cautious and uniform guidelines for the sake and health of the populace.
Still, some of what I've read comes from people, whom the last time I knew, had no expert knowledge on the subject.
I've noticed that these types when imparting their infinite knowledge also tend to exclude themselves from the masses as if they have the omniscience and the rest of us pathetic saps don't.
I'm not complaining because I know we live an eclectic information world where every hour on the hour as we travel through the buffet line of life we receive a virtual smorgasboard of specialized information designed for a variety of audience reactions or responses.
For example:
I'll have a few of those lies, please. Put a big whopper on the top.
I'll have a glass of Half (truths) and Half (lies).
I'll have a glass of Half (truths) and Half (lies).
Could you serve me some of that touchy-feeling stuff; I'm feeling down today.
I'll take a plate of "tell-me-what-I-want-to-hear" salad.
I'll take a plate of "tell-me-what-I-want-to-hear" salad.
Spoon me up a couple of helpings those head-scratching baked chicken claws. I'll need them cuz there's another rally coming tonight.
Gimme a giant bowl of that Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth soup!

In short, the Coronavirus appears to be lacking immunity from catching a secondary virus, which some might call "foot in mouth" disease.
I suspect there will soon be a ruling from the experts telling us to please scrub those feet too, and when you're done, wash out your mouth with soap!
In all honesty, I do take the Coronavirus scare very seriously. It was heart-breaking these past few days to think about the residents and their families associated with the Life Care facility in Kirkland, Wash.
I could not help but think of the times when my mother was in assisted care and did not want to even imagine the thought of what it would be like for a facility to be suddenly quarantined with residents dying and some families never seeing their loved ones again.
The thought is beyond heart-breaking.
Every hour on the hour we are learning new information which brings us that much closer to the true reality of this pandemic which could disrupt our lives in ways we don't even want to imagine.
In facing any massive challenge, we must adhere to common sense by following reasonable guidelines, remaining calm and doing our best for ourselves and others.
Also, having a sense of humor about any unfortunate situation is often helpful.
And so, this morning, I found what seems to be a lovely, reasonable and hilarious approach to a very serious situation.
Enjoy, and then go turn the music on and wash, wash, wash those hands.
Happy Thursday.
