No. 1 – Stay safe, and be mindful of viral spreading

Sports, even in recess, can provide a haven from reality, but that doesn’t mean reality should be ignored.

In all seriousness, the coronavirus outbreak is a dangerous thing, and even though some have tried to downplay it by comparing its symptoms to the common flu, that doesn’t change the fact that it caught many by surprise, and that it can be very harmful for people who are immunosuppressed.

If you’re not in the “vulnerable” category, don’t use it as an excuse to be careless. Wash your hands frequently, be mindful about how you might spread the virus through socialization and other events, and err on the safe side when faced with a dilemma. Sure, for you it might just be like a cold or the flu, but for a vulnerable person you might give it to, it could be deadly.

If you are in the “vulnerable” category, take similar precautions toward your health, and don’t take a “It can’t happen to me” attitude. Because it just might. Be safe, be mindful, and be as ready as you can be, just in case symptoms do strike. Take care of yourselves, and with any luck, this thing will pass through in due time.
