Covid-19 is 5x more infectious than the flu. It often travels asymptomatically, in people who show no symptoms for weeks. The death rate is 10 times that of the normal flu and there’s currently no treatment, no vaccine, and no defense — except for the physical separation of people.

To protect others from me, I will always wear a handmade mask or scarf when I go out in public; and I will stay away from people who don’t wear masks to protect me and my family.
