The Sky Is Not Falling

This, because "Sky is falling" and related searches yield some majorly warped Google Image results

Remember that time back in December 2012 when zombies rose from the grave in a giant Mayan Apocalypse? Or New Years Eve/Day 1999/2000 when the world's technology went haywire, causing banks to shut down and planes to fall from the sky? I sure don't!

But this does sound an awful lot like what I'm hearing every time the news talks about the coronavirus/COVID 19. Same yarns about closures, stockpiling goods and medicine, and even politically-charged conspiracy theories.

It's scary, and people have every right to be nervous, but can we dial down the crazy, just a little bit? Like other outbreaks and those aforementioned doomsday scenarios, we'll get through this. Just be prepared, wash your hands, and relax.

Cheers!
