quote of the day

I sure as hell don’t want to contract it.
Am I scared of it? Let’s just say that I consider it worthy of my utmost caution and attention. And it is always on my mind throughout my day.
It most certainly is a very serious health issue in my opinion. And I would like our health services to do whatever they can to help prevent infection and help the current victims.
