People get upset and annoyed at me when I tweet about the coronavirus, when I urge people to stay in and avoid crowds. My favorite person in the world is immunocompromised. Go ahead and unfollow me. I’ll be tweeting about this until I’m down to zero followers.

Major cities are going to shut down. It’s inevitable. Restaurants/bars will be closed. We’ll go into lockdown. Right now is when you can mitigate the damage. Try & stay home if you can. It’ll lessen the pressure on the healthcare system & you’ll help ppl in at risk groups.
