Corona virus

I work in a school doing childcare. Yesterday, we got a notice, while at work, that school would be closed today as a staff memember tested positive for the corona virus. One of the women I work with found something about a HS student in our district that came home from Spain on Saturday & was sick with it on Sunday. I found out that the school where I used to work, someone is sick with it & that they were cleaning the school. I just got a text saying school is closed tomorrow as well. I hope whoever is sick is okay. I'm also worried as teachers can go from school to school, a lot of kids have been out sick, & when they're getting sick, they hang all over you, which is how I got the flu (even with the shot). I also have asthma & right now a bad cold & everything winds up in my chest sooner or later. *has been sick a few times with a bad chest cold as well as spending a few days in the hospital from it* Please WASH YOUR HANDS as much as possible & DON'T TOUCH YOUR FACE if your hands aren't that clean. Everyone take care & treat this like the pandemic it is turning out to be! If you're sick, stay home! It might be a cold, but your immune system is fighting that off, why give it something else, which is deadly, on top of it?! Also avoid crowded areas. G-d will forgive you if don't go to services! You don't need that super awesome whatsit that's on sale at the mall! Be smart & be safe!!

It actually makes your hands really soft, but the lavender is STRONG! Even before all the Coronavirus stuff, I would come straight in whenever we went somewhere and wash my hands because I don’t want to expose the furry babies to anything that might be on my hands. So, yeah, I wash my hands before and after playing with The Bats. XD I just thought it was interesting that someone researched which booze is best for disinfecting and came to the conclusion that it’s the stuff people would sneak into class in water bottles when I was in high school.
*hugs more* I hope you start feeling better soon! Not being able to sleep properly stinks!
*ALL THE HUGGLES*

I was reading about corona virus & they said to not play with your pets or take care of them if you were sick, & wash your hands before & after if you are the only one in the household with a pet. They don't know if pets can get it, so you're even sick & doing the right thing! That's hysterical! XD
*more huggles* Thanks! I'm getting there. :D Tell me about it. I just checked & the schools are closed again tomorrow.
YAY!! *dives into the sea of huggles*

*huggles* You’re welcome! Yay! It’s good that they’ve closed the schools again. The schools out here don’t seem to close for anything.
:D

*even more huggles* Yeah. They normally try not to, so this is really big that they did! The only other time they did something like this was when hurricane Sandy hit & half the town had no power.
:D

*tons of huggles* It’s Spring Break this coming week, so we’ll see what they do after that. People need to stop hoarding toilet paper ASAP, though. There’s not a roll to be found in any store.
:D
