Some Favorite Neon Quality Signs
The first sign is apt. Stay home, protect our elderly and those with respiratory or autoimmune diseases. I love neon signs, they’re just so pretty and cool. Which one do you want the most? I can’t choose between live colorfully, wish you were here and you fine rare mess.

Benefits Of A Citrus Aesthetic
Stay healthy with a daily dose of citrus. Boosts your immune system, fights off colds and infections, prevents cancer, keeps your skin moist and is filled with essential vitamins. What’s the last citrus fruit you ate? When? Health is wealth, your body is a temple, the coronavirus is a great reminder of that.

Wormwood Tea For Immunity
A tea that boost your immune system, which is totally apt during this pandemic. The thing about wormwood tea is it taste like pure ass. Like this drink is bitter and took me three hours to drink last night. I’ve had it before to cleanse, under the impression that I had parasites in my colon. Really I got stuck in one of those ads that make everyone feel this way. Yes, I a non medical professional diagnosed myself. Feeling a bit dry in the throat I decided to get on anything, before it got me.
Wormwood tea is also good for reducing fevers, killing cancer cells by destroying the iron that enriches them and a litany of other benefits. In some places this herb is illegal (in high doses it can have adverse effects, including hallucinations), as it’s a main ingredient in absinthe.
Your best bet is to buy prepackaged and properly measured. I ordered mine from Buddha Teas, the same place I got this picture. Remember you are what you eat! Stay healthy by feeding your body the things it needs to thrive. Could you use a healthier diet? When’s the last time you drank a herbaceous tea?
Corona Virus Correlates To Critical Thinking
The media frenzy surrounding this pandemic (a disease with a wide geographical spread) has left a lot of people scared for their lives. Apocalyptic visions hyped by the media’s need to get those attention grabbing headlines, that talk of preventive measures, death tolls, infection rate and which A-list stars have tested positive. A very myopic and dangerous distortion of world news. Not at all focusing on the full range of statistical data.
Currently there are 134,670 people infected, 4,973 deaths and 69,142 people who have recovered. What does it mean? The state of the world is not as grim as it looks.
134,670 is such a small percentage of six billion people, it barely registers.
69,142 people recovered means they now have the antibodies to fight off the disease, making them immune. Just like how you got chicken pox and you never got them again. Your immune system collects diseases to recognize them and protect you.
4,973 people have died unfortunately. Making the mortality rate 3.4% which isn’t as bad as other outbreaks. The swine flu, for example killed 12,469 people in five months, over a larger age demographic (anybody could get got). Whereas the Coronavirus death toll consist mostly of elderly people and those with autoimmune & respiratory diseases.
Italy has a high rate of senior citizens, so their death toll is made up largely of people in their 80s and 90s. However they do not have enough hospital staff to give attention to everyone, which is a confounding variable (look this up, an extremely important term in science).
All and all even though we will recover our pockets might not. People unable to generate income, but must continue to pay bills for thirty days will incur debt. Unless the government steps in to give aid as they have done in Italy, but this is America so…
Fear is the quickest way to mobilize people, the first thing I learned in marketing class. Instead of taking a full scientific approach to the matter, people are ignoring facts and letting their emotions run wild, regurgitating the media. Critical thinking, asking questions no matter what, is essential to the truth and your civic duty. Unfortunately we live in a world where it’s easier to take selfies, let corporations think for you and react off emotions not logic, despite access to information.
Here are some articles to give you the complete sense of what’s going on. PS China has reopened their stores.
