COVID-19 Reality

COVID-19 Reality
Larchmont, NY

Note: This composition was created to promote awareness and provide images of precautionary supplies. While N-95 rated face masks (the only face masks manufactured to protect against airborne pathogens) are not needed at this time in much of the world, hand sanitizer and good hygiene are a good idea to prevent its spread as well as that of seasonal flu, the latter whose casualties rarely make the headlines. The rose, heart, and color scheme were used since Valentine's Day, the international day of love, falls in February and because love should be the pre-eminent approach to everything.

An artistic marvel. I love the red theme and your collage elements and layout. The lines on top are graphically fabulous and really interesting to look at. Cool use of various opacities to add even more interest. Nice job. Of course the topic is well-worded and important too...I keep an eye on the virus every day (Corona Virus Update) and am lately feeling encouraged that the numbers are no longer skyrocketing... though it's possible that the data may be partially withheld or skewed. You cannot ever tell to be honest. We can only cross our fingers that this virus is, indeed, being held in check. Time will tell.

BTW, the Covid site with all of the information I gave you a link to has been updated...the statistical graph in the lower right corner now also has two more tabs of information. (BTW, I'm glad you learned about this one, it's the best that I know of!)I'm impressed at the completeness of this information and so many ways to look at how many are affected, who's sick, who's recovered...you can click on a red location dot and it will give you precise information; or, if you roll your mouse over the upper right of each box, there's a place to click which puts the info on its own page to look at...just click on the button again to return to the main console...anyway...it's very robust and useful if you want to keep track of what's going on. gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6

Personally I think the best policy is to ignore the attempts at panic-mongering and China-bashing being dished out by the media. :-)
But I agree: love is always best. Would that our dear leaders could understand this.

Früher als Menschen auf den Bauernhöfen lebten waren sie immun, sie besassen einen guten Schutz vor Keimen. Heute ist Hygiene wichtiger als jemals zuvor.

Die Rose dazu zeigt die Liebe in der Gegenwärtigkeit. Auch sie bedarf Pflege und Schutz.

Freundliche Grüße und einen guten Tag

Thank you for your visit William...I think of you every time I check the latest info on the Covid site. It's getting a little bit concerning with the explosion in Italy and S Korea...*sigh* and now there is a case in both Africa and in S America.

I do wish that media would flood the market with the truth: corona virus compared to the flu is like being hit with a feather in the overall scheme of things. The death-rate of flu is SHOCKING in comparison to the very few deaths from (almost exclusively) elderly patients that get the corona virus. Instead they are rolling around in click-bait heaven as they spew out news that the world is coming to an end! *sigh*

No Janet, sorry but it's different what you said ( and what many people thought, me also) 13 day's ago:
In recent days, WHO has reported that coronavirus mortality is also higher than previously thought. The first study reported a 2% mortality rate. It is now 3.4 percent globally. Thus, coronavirus turns out to be more lethal than seasonal flu, with which it is often combined, and whose mortality - according to WHO - is about 1 percent.
The WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus informed about new mortality data.

Thank you Janet and Roland! Janet, I think the CDC sparked some real panic yesterday claiming the outbreak here in the USA was inevitable and people should start making preparations and expect significant disruptions in their lives. I guess since the flu occurs every year, the media isn't interested in covering it even though the 2019-20 season has result in a record number of children's deaths this year here in America. :(

Yes, washing hands, with warm water and soap, and avoiding touching once own face is often enough. People often have mannerisms, like scratching itchy eyes with fingers, and that should be avoided.

But we also should remember to avoid foolish use of hand sanitizers. When those became popular somewhat everywhere, people started to think that is enough. But it really is not as good as washing hands properly with water and soap, after which one should use paper towel to close the tap (if not electronically controlled): And avoid touching door knobs, which pretty much undo the hand wash.

In the meantime, France has become the second most important source of infection in Europe after Italy. These protections are becoming topical. Radio, television and urban spots are now being broadcast.
Nice composition, William.

interesting composition ! the hand gel sanitizer are sold out in Italy since a week - and many supermarket are...empty because a lot of Italians panicked because of fake news and the TV-news about infected people ....;-((

Thank you Sami, Eric, and Gabi! Gabi, We have the same problem here in NY -- no hand sanitizer for almost two weeks and the few places it can be found, it is being sold at exorbitant prices ranging from $29 to $79. I believe panic buying here was triggered by the same cause and it doesn't help when federal officials contradict each other and the president doesn't take it seriously. It's hard to have confidence. Hope you and your family are safe considering how bad things are in Italy. Likewise, Eric hope you and your family are also safe considering France too is being hit hard. Excellent advice Sami!

Good work, William !'
But i must add after reading some of comments here :
Unfortunately, it's not true what some people here ( f.e.Janet Brien) wroted here about grippe :

In recent days, WHO has reported that coronavirus mortality is also higher than previously thought. The first study reported a 2% mortality rate. It is now 3.4 percent globally. Thus, coronavirus turns out to be more lethal than seasonal flu, with which it is often combined, and whose mortality - according to WHO - is about 1 percent.
