Every few years the world gets hit with a health scare that comes close to bringing globe wide panic. We had SARS, Ebola and this year, the Corona Virus.
There is enough information on this disease on Google so I am not going to bother explaining what it is. Actually let me correct myself. There is a lot of information out there, just nothing concrete to let us know what we are dealing with. The only thing we do know is that the virus is similar to the flu but deadlier and it is an airborne illness. It has devastated China and has spread to Iran, Italy and a few other countries. As of today there are a few cases in the United States but supposedly the people are quarantined. The Centers for Disease Control feels it is only a matter of time before the disease really hits us.
So I am doing the usual...hand washing and avoiding sick people. I am also avoiding crowds as best as I can. Only thing is I feel in my bones I am only delaying the inevitable. Eventually I am going to get this. I just worry if it will be like a bad cold or the pneumonia some people have died from. I have such little faith in our elected officials I feel that by the summer most of the public will have felt this virus.
When you hear the president speak on the Corona Virus he seems to be only concerned about the stock market falling. He blames the media for spreading false news, meanwhile you hear about cruise ships being quarantined.
So far I have updated my life insurance. Mom was my beneficiary so I obviously had to change that. I just need to create a living will and get a health proxy. I had to do that anyway but with this latest health scare no better time than the present.

NEW YEAR NO RESOLUTIONS......YET
It's a new year and as of today I haven't even thought about resolutions. Yet. Truth be told I haven't thought about much creative wise in over a year. That changes now.
