There's a frenzy going around.. but what she said is oh so true.. Reposting this from @lindseyelmore with her permission because I cant say any better. 😀👍and because shes just an awesome person besides being a cool pharmacists..👍😀 .. "An epidemiologist once told me that viral infections are more powerful than chemical warfare. Wait you mean that nature is more powerful than human engineering? No way. I will say it now until the end of time, we must understand that viral infections are a part of human existence and that panic is not a necessary byproduct. The media coverage of the coronavirus COVID-19 is borderline shameful. It fails to acknowledge that humans have been getting infected with coronavirus for thousands of years. It fails to acknowledge that the death rates are low, and tend to be in older adults with concomitant disease states like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It fails to put parents at ease that the virus only rarely infects children and infants. It fails to acknowledge that common, readily available disinfectants like ethyl alcohol, bleach, benzalkonium chloride, and even garlic, elderberry, and theaflavins from tea all kill coronaviruses, (though not tested against COVID-19). It fails to acknowledge that more people have died from influenza, heart disease, and medication adverse events than this virus since it has been a thing. Think like FDR: we have nothing to fear but fear itself. Wash your hands people. All is well." . . . . . #mediafrenzy #wellnessawareness #newyorkwellness #newjerseywellness #coronavirus #panicbuying #pandemic #worldissues #globalpandemic #wellness #wellnessjourney #awarenessiskey #essentialoilsforthewin #coronavirusnyc #coronavirusnewjersey (at Kaena Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9X-BE9B3I0/?igshid=75tuybxs1vdj
