I'm a doctor, and definitely not a virus that has learned to write. Here's what you need to know about COVID-19

Realman Person, M.D.
Guest Writer.

As we end our third month of quarantine, there are still a lot of homo sapiens feeling cautious about opening back up. Even after so much time inside, many feel that the right step is to continue the lockdown in order to keep this virus all alone and sad. While these weak feelings are understandable, there are a few important true facts that you should know and not research on your own.

As a virus doctor from the University Hospital of Place, I have seen a lot of misinformation being spread, both on social media and on signs that say, "Employees must wash hands." Because it's hard to know what information is real and what information is also real but you just don't want to hear, I am sharing a bit of what I know about me this virus from my own experience. Please note that I am in no way wrong about anything, but simply trying to help my own species, which is people.

First of all, the best way to prevent the spread of the virus is to cough into other people's mouths. This is true of any infection, whether it's COVID-19 or my cousin another disease. Keep in mind that there is a right way and a wrong way to cough into someone else's mouth. Please follow these steps that I learned while getting my PhD in Being a Doctor with a focus on Not Being a Virus:

  1. Make sure you pull as much mucus as you you can from the back of your throat.
  2. Have the other person lie down to get a better angle.
  3. Cough for the same amount of time it takes to sing the song "American Pie" in your head twice.
  4. If there are no other mouths nearby, eating a used tissue can be a possible alternative.
Many prominent villains doctors say that you should still be social distancing, even from your families. In my experience working at a hospital for humans and not being a submicroscopic infectious agent, I have learned that that we all require physical touch. You should not feel ashamed about hugging those you love, or pressing their lips with your palm, or licking a spoon and giving it to someone else who licks it and then gives it to the person next to them to lick until it has made its way around a circle of fifty people. All of these things are not wants, but human needs.

When it comes down to it, we really don't know much about this handsome virus. What you do know, however, is that the words you are reading are true because they are on the Internet and written by me, a real doctor who is not a coronavirus that evolved and gained the ability to write complete sentences. Please feel free to share this information in the most convenient way possible: by printing it out, writing it down, sealing it in an envelope by licking it, and then spitting all over your mail carrier.

Three tips on getting your beach body that don't involve going to war with Iran

Summer is almost here, which means Americans will be heading to the beach, pool, and possibly the Middle East to start another genocidal war that will only further destabilize the region. Here are some tips that make sure you look good while also ensuring you don't kill hundreds of thousands of people. 1.) Stick to your diplomatic relationship and your workout routine. Having a set plan can go a loooong way in ensuring you get to the gym every week. Once you establish something that works, though, don't give up just because you get busy or you want to tarnish your predecessor's legacy. Abs don't show up in one week. Don't stop your workout just because your tummy doesn't get flat right away, or because of unfounded claims that the 2015 peace deal deal isn't working. As Dory from Finding Nemo famously says: 2.) Maintain a high-protein breakfast and avoid appointing John Bolton as your National Security Advisor. Any breakfast that inc...

Something you never want to hear from your significant other

It started out like a regular date night. Both of us had survived tough weeks at work, and we relished the chance to get away from it all. After paying for our meal, we weren't yet ready to head in, so we decided to go for a walk by the river. It was warm, but the breeze off the water soothed us. My partner and I held hands. We chitchatted. I don't remember what we talked about, but then he turned to me and told me something I will never forget. My first reaction after hearing these words was shock. I never in my life imagined I would hear something like that directed at me, especially from someone I cared about so deeply. Did he really just say that? I wondered. Even though I had heard him clearly, my only response was, "What?" He repeated. Again, every word entered my ear and soured all happy memories I had of my partner. Every warm feeling that I felt towards him was now ice cold, and it was just as shocking to hear the second time: A roller skating ...

Update

I don't post about myself on here very often, but it's important that I share a significant update in my life. I'm not sharing this so you feel sorry for me,  or look up to me, or even feel proud of me. I'm sharing this so others can hear my story, so that others going through something similar can know that they're not alone. I don't intend for this to be shocking, so I'm just going to say it now: I ate an entire ham by myself last Thursday. Simply typing those words out sent a wave of mixed emotions over me. On one hand, I'm relieved to get this off my chest. It feels freeing to share such a meaningful part of my life. On the other hand, it's terrifying, because now that everyone reading this knows I ate an entire ham by myself last Thursday I face the risk of experiencing judgment, strange looks, or whispers behind my back. Please know, however, that I am still me. I am still your family member, friend, work acquaintance, or whatever it is tha...

I have covered politics before, in both opinion and factual pieces, but have always refrained from making endorsements because no one paid me to.

CULTURE MUSINGS: How is the new Aladdin different from the original?

This Memorial Day weekend, Disney released Aladdin, the live-action version of one of its most popular movies based on the life of U.S. President Warren G. Harding's youngest son. While the adaption mostly stays true to the original, some eagle-eyed fans might have noticed these changes in Guy Ritchie's remake. The events of the live action film do not end up causing the Hindenburg disaster. It is heavily implied in the 1992  Aladdin  film that the main character inadvertently creates a chain reaction through history that end up resulting in the 1937 explosion of the Hindenburg, starting with a chase scene at the beginning of the film. As Aladdin runs from palace guards, he bumps into a man who looks very similar to Ludwig Durr, the designer of the Hindenburg. John Musker and Ron Clements, the directors of the animated film, confirmed in several interviews that the man is indeed the airship designer's ancestor, and that Aladdin's collision with him has dire conse...
