“Keep spreading the word, for every person you remind about washing and covering and distancing (and for every time you do these things yourself) you can essentially be saving 3 people from possible infection. Those are pretty great odds, don’t you think?”
Mikaela Shiffrin just posted this video to give her fans an update while she follows 2 week self-quarantine protocol after returning from Åre, Sweden where she was planning to ski in a World Cup race before it was canceled. Mikaela is in the same boat we’re all in and has some words of encouragement to that we can all get behind:
“It’s crazy to me that there are STILL people out there saying this is just some fluky thing and not covering their mouths when they cough or sneeze. Ironically those always seem to be the first people to complain about all the inconveniences they are facing, while not doing anything to mitigate the spread… I’ve seen so many heartbreaking stories of elderly being scared to go to the store to get basic necessities knowing that they are so much more susceptible to Covid-19 than the younger, healthier population. At the same time, I’ve seen heartwarming stories of people stepping up to help and reach out to make sure their elderly neighbors get what they need and stay safe. But the fact is basic personal hygiene is still lacking, which means there is more we can do to control the spread. Which in turn keeps our loved ones, parents, grandparents, friends, family, and neighbors safe. So let’s do it. Keep spreading the word, for every person you remind about washing and covering and distancing (and for every time you do these things yourself) you can essentially be saving 3 people from possible infection. Those are pretty great odds, don’t you think? #FlattenTheCurve”
