That's pretty funny, for real!

The other day, I blogged about the gap between self-insight and lack of knowledge. Sometimes it becomes pretty funny. This popped up in my news feed, and I'm assuming it isn't a Photoshop. 

In a way, it's comforting that stuff like this happens to everyone. 

A less hilarious level of ignorance is: people seem convinced that if they believe they're infected with the COVID19 virus, they should go to the ER. 

Don't do that. An emergency room is crammed with people who are sick or hurt for other reasons, and going in there will almost guarantee that you spread the disease to someone with a compromised immune system who might die.

Instead, follow the CDC's recommendations. You can read them here. 

If do you need urgent medical care, call before going and follow their instructions. That way, healthcare professionals can help you in the best way possible without risking themselves or anyone else.

We can do this!
