An Interpretation of The Situation

Hello Nomad friends.  Covid-19.   Novel.  That means it's a new strain of virus.  Slippery.  That means it mutates easily and is therefore unpredictable.  Infectious.  That means you can pick it up from another person.  Incubation.  That's the time it takes for you to develop symptoms from the time you become infected.  Flu has an incubation of 1 to 4 days.  C19 has an incubation of 1 to 14 days.  That means you can be exposed to it and not know for 14 days.  Think about that.  How many people would you usually interact with in 14 days??  How many loved ones??  How many strangers??  If you pick up this virus you could be spreading it to everyone you meet for two weeks before even knowing you are sick.  We have some immunity to flu, our body recognises it as a threat.  We also have vaccines.  We have no natural immunity to C19.  We have no vaccines.  Some people's immune systems will not recognise it as a threat.  Their bodies will not fight it.  They might die.  Some people have a lowered immune system.  Their bodies may not be able to fight it.  They might die.  The only thing we can do is buy some time by social distancing and staying home.  Time for the scientists to find a vaccine.  Time for our health systems to help the people who need help.  


I made a banner.  There's Gummiapan Unicorn all alone in the middle.  Two meters (pennants) either side.  Well done Unicorn!!!  I used Gummiapan's large Old Tag die to cut the pennants, using a bit of cutting plate jiggling to avoid cutting the tag 'hole'.  I stamped the pale blue ones with Gummiapan's distressed circles stamp and blue archival ink and edged with blue Promarker.  

Unicorn is social distancing.  Be a unicorn, stay home!!!

Thanks for dropping by.  Stay safe.  Keep well.  Hugz
