Remember to follow the important rules and stay safe

Carlos Whitmer, Staff Writer

During these confusing times, it is important to remember that the rules put in place are meant to keep you and the people around you safe. While these things can make us bored and frustrated with how we have to interact with the quarantined world, we still have to make sure that we do our part in helping bring down this virus. The biggest and most important rule to follow would be to stay home and practice social distancing with the people at your house and the people outside if you need to run some necessary errands/ This means to avoid physical contact and stay away from large gatherings of people. This also includes celebrations like birthday parties, weddings and other events in which there are a lot of people in a small area. These celebrations can wait and it’s for the best to stay away so that we do not overfill the hospitals and people die needlessly just because someone went to a birthday party and started spreading the disease. If you do start experiencing some symptoms then you have to self isolate yourself so you can stop a potential spread.

The next important thing to remember is that even though the virus does not affect the youth as much as it affects older people, we still have to be considerate so that people like our older family remain safe instead of getting sick because we made a bad decision. The last thing that is important is to stay healthy and don’t get scared. As long as people try their best at following these rules and guidelines then we shall be able to go through this slowly without clogging up the hospitals. This is the most important thing to remember, reduce the bump so that we have enough medical supplies to help the sick recover.
