“The human and economic costs of delaying this lockdown will be staggering. The COVID-19 outbreak has many more cases now than are visible (tip of the iceberg) and they are growing rapidly. Absent sufficiently effective intervention, new cases will increase 1.3 to 1.5 times each day. We had almost 20,000 cases in the United States on Friday, over 5,800 more cases than the previous day.

SOAP BREAKS THE PROTECTIVE FAT LAYER OF THE CORONAVIRUS CELL, MAKING IT USELESS.

WASHING HANDS WITH SOAP = WE MAKE THE VIRUS DEDD.

THIS SHOULD BE COMMON SENSE BY NOW.

DON’T TOUCH EACH OTHER.

SELF-FUN < EVERYONE’S HEALTH
