It's only a matter of time before someone does from drinking or trying to inject disinfectant.
The lunatics scare me more than any virus.

People need to listen to their governors and follow directions. We are quartined until the end of May now. If that what it takes, I will follow the rules. Our governor comes on TV M-F at 2:30 pm 5 days a week with updates and I appreciate that he does this. This is in Illinois.
Actually @Katcat1 Governor Pritzker comes on TV seven days a week to give updates! 👍

I don't know if it's true but I was told that cold viruses are around all year long but we don't touch our faces as much in warmer weather therefore we don't catch as many colds in warmer weather. This was a discussion last year and not related to this new Coronavirus.
I believe sunlight kills viruses. That doesn't mean it's easy to "put" sunlight on everything that needs to be cleaned. I just think it's one of nature's cleansers. And it's better for us to spend some time outdoors, if possible.
I also believe viruses cannot spread as easily in open air as they can in enclosed spaces. And vitamin D (as well as other vitamins and minerals) helps humans stay more healthy. There are many sides to staying healthy and some of them are just common sense.

@suzyQ3 Yep, and I thought I past being shocked anymore, but yet I am.
Also, the fact that some company is trying to sell bleach as a cure.
Like I said, scarier than any virus. At least there is a chance for a vaccine against a virus. No fix for stupid.

@KJPA, the amount of UV rays you'd need to kill viruses would be very dangerous to you.
But the suggestion about sunlight was along the lines of maybe we could somehow bring sunlight into our body. :-)

Common sense isn't so common. And it's downright dangerous when lacking where it's needed the most.

Maybe I should clarify that I'm speaking about viruses in general and about them surviving on their own, in the presence of sunlight. I'm not suggesting that sunlight kills a virus inside your body. Just that it's more difficult to catch the virus while you are outdoors where surfaces are in sunlight. And in circulating, open air. More difficult to spread, not impossible 🌞

After all of this is over, (even somewhat over), I hope that science education in this country gets ramped up. Quickly!
