True Life: We're Dealing With Coronavirus

The last couple of weeks have been so hectic. We went from living regular life to now worrying about our health. This pandemonium is all due to the Coronavirus which most describe as a different kind of flu strain.

Every city in the U.S. has discovered cases of the Coronavirus. However, SC has discovered the same with estimating at least 25 or more people infected in each SC county. Schools have closed down and businesses are running things very different to avoid contact with people.

A company that is taking HUGE precaution is the one and only Chic-fil-A. The company decided to let customers swipe their own card and practice safety when handling money. While mostly every restaurant without a drive through is closed to avoid large group contact. Chic-fil-A recently announced as of yesterday that their will be no more drive thru you will only be served using the app.

Everyday Corona hits closer than we expect as of in North Charleston we have had almost 2 deaths related to the Coronavirus. With almost another 10 being treated in medical facilities. The streets are empty and people are fearful because their is still no known way of actually contracting this virus.

Rumor has it that a big 2 week quarantine is coming. Which would be a big problem because stores and restaurants are empty. Restaurants cant receive inventory and essential stores like Wal-mart cant keep up with the traffic flow.

Yesterday I talked with 2 North Charleston locals in which they both stated, "This is not what you expect its more to the story you have to look deeper, but no one wants to do that because of the fear."

Many people have their myths about what's going on. Whether it be religion based or society/ political based one things for certain its sending a wave through the city. At night the streets are empty and businesses are shutdown lights off by 8. North Charleston has ordered a stay at home order, but it is not mandatory quarantine.

For me I'm ready for this to be over.  (Pics are not taken by me)
