Look and listen, America, to something very simple.
SOCIAL DISTANCING
America, YOU ARE THE “1 PERSON” in the schematic above. Don’t turn your head away. That stiff is YOU. The other people are your friends, parents, grandparents.
You not only have a duty to ensure YOU don’t get sick, but a duty not to become a carrier of the disease. If you go to Florida for Spring Break, get the WutangCurse (even though you may not know you have it because you are young, healthy, tan, and look great in that bikini), and return — you put everybody else including your parents, your grandparents at risk.
This is all you are being asked to do. Be a bloody adult. Do not become a carrier through social distancing. It may be a little disquieting, awkward, off putting. It may impact your routine.
But, getting the WutangCurse and dying from it is also a major interruption of one’s routine and it could be your people who die.
America, do your part. Do it now. Keep doing it.
We are in this son-of-a-bitch together. Do your part. Social distancing — what adults do.
