Here is an article I found about the coronavirus and how it can linger on surfaces. The article teaches readers how to properly sanitize and what to sanitize. I think this article is important because I don't everyone is aware of how the virus can be contracted. I might just be me, but I feel most people are unaware of how many things we touch within a day. Our mouths, surfaces, and other people.

I'll let you judge how closely I resemble that younger me.


Finally, here's your video, a recent cover of "Nothing Stops Another Day" from Ghost. I liked how it seemed like this was someone with a good voice just doing what she can to get by during this crisis.

Remember, Dr. Fletcher loves ya.
