Is it Just a Flu?
Like the Coronavirus disease, from time to time, the world gets struck with a dominant illness that impacts our ordinary days. Indeed, more than often, it appears from a random country, spaces without control, and suddenly a whole continent becomes endangered. Additionally, the symptoms may be too powerful, or the contagious methods are too hard to handle. Furthermore, if a cure takes a long while to handle situations like these, countries around the planet become infected, and the danger increases.
Likewise, to prevent anything harmful goes your way, there are always some measures to take and avoid a possible contagion. Still, though, sometimes people do not want to cooperate, and extreme procedures are needed to maintain control over the situation. As a result, some products or animals become banned for the population, or different excessive prohibitions bloom to reduce the damage. Hence, sometimes it may feel like these new rules are like child-probe, but sometimes people find it hard to collaborate.
The average “video gamer” usually sees this kind of situation from another spectrum. Since we tend to stay indoors due to the prolonged gaming sessions, a powerful virus finds it hard to infect our bodies. Still, we live with people that have a different business outside the world, spreading diseases inside our homes. Therefore, you always need to be prepared if anything goes your way.
Risks of Getting this New Disease
Since the Corona Virus shares a lot of properties from the Flu, it is incredibly contagious. For example, just by touching something like a paper with the virus or being near to a sick person when it sneezes, you’ll experiment with some symptoms in the next couple of days. Furthermore, the Corona Virus has the potential to survive without a host for around a week. In other words, even though the sick person leaves a public premise for a long time, the virus may still be lingering there.
As a result, one procedure from the government that takes place when some cases appear in a country is to ban public gatherings. Primary, areas such as parks or malls need to become isolated until the medical staff somewhat controls the threat. If things remain, as usual, the Corona Virus cases may increase to the point that everyone has no control of the infected anymore.
For us gamers, since we usually have not that many social gatherings, we still have the chance to feel at ease inside our homes. Indeed, with electricity and Internet connection, we have the potential to drain hours until this threat becomes stable. Furthermore, you have the potential to keep fighting for a better place in the Ranking Ladder, while Doctors around the world deal with this potent threat. Still, though, always keep an eye over the news all times and act accordingly.
