1/ To all my friends in their 20s/30s
Even if you don’t care about spreading to others (grandma etc), the threat #covid19 directly poses to you is serious too.
A few reasons you should rethink going to indoor clubs/bars/gyms/rallies— all high risk for spread— right now:

A few reasons you should rethink going to indoor clubs/bars/gyms/rallies— all high risk for spread— right now:
2/ First, you very well could have a severe & possibly life-threatening outcome yourself. While it is less likely than someone older than you, we are still figuring out what makes young people get really sick (some do). I wouldn’t recommend being part of that study.
3/ Second, even if you do not die, you very well could have very debilitating consequences for months afterwards, including difficulty catching your breath, severe fatigue, prolonged loss of smell/taste, & more. Read this ⬇️

5/ We are seeing some seriously bad signs around the US.
ICU beds filling to near capacity in Arizona.
Thousands of new cases per day in Florida.

6/ In addition to avoiding high-risk places/situations, I would make sure that you wear a mask when you are indoors especially.
If you’re on your own outdoors without close contact with others, get your fresh air then.
Otherwise, mask up.
