Those of you not taking this seriously need to understand the reality we are facing now, as well as the reality you are pushing us towards by ignoring the guidance of public health officials. You need to be practicing social distancing and you need to start now if you aren’t.

Social distancing is NOT:
- Parties with 10 or less people
- Bonfires with 10 or less people
- Going out with groups of people
- Getting together with people outside your household
- Hanging out with friends you do not live with

Social distancing IS:
- Going for a walk outside alone
- Staying home unless absolutely necessary
- Avoiding areas with people who are in close proximity to each other
- Remaining 6 feet away from those who you do not live with

Not practicing social distancing doesn’t make you cool. It doesn’t make you funny, or different, or independent. It makes you selfish and stupid. You are not immune to this virus, and neither are your friends and family members who you could be exposing through your actions.

To our healthcare workers, grocery store employees, and other essential workers, thank you for your tireless work in keeping our communities safe and functioning, and putting yourself in harm’s way to do so. We will never be able to repay you.

We will get through this, but everyone has to do their part if we want to have any chance of returning to normal.
Call out your friends and family who aren’t social distancing!
Stay home unless you absolutely need to go out!
And keep washing your hands.
