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.

Making Sacrifices in Housing Choices: The Millennial Reality

Millennials get a lot of criticism from older generations like Baby Boomers and ancient spirits trapped in the old tree outside my dentist's office. Some of it is fair, but most of it, in my experience, is unfair. I think any generation has members who complain too much, are entitled, or think the world revolves around them, so w hen I hear people criticizing Millennials as "selfish" or "lazy" or "crying too loudly in the Taco Bell drive thru," I can't help but roll my eyes. In all honesty, most Millennials I know are  selfless, determined, and only cry in the drive thru at Wendy's. Many  of us are struggling to survive in an economic climate that doesn't give us the jobs we went to school for, so we have made a lot of sacrifices in order to make ends meet. For instance, I have recently begun living life as a house cat in order to stay with a couple rent-free. It took a lot of humility for me to agree to live this way. I had been s...

10 Pictures of Dogs That Will Make You Say "This Idiot Doesn't Know What Dogs Are"

Dogs: gotta love them, right? I can remember the first time I saw a dog, I said: "Wow, look at that dog, which I know is a dog because I know what dogs are!" While some dogs do some things, there are other dogs that do other things. But when it comes down to it, all dogs are one thing: and that thing is that they are all dogs. Here are some pictures of dogs: 1.) Clifford the Big Red Dog We've all heard of Clifford the big red dog, right? This is a picture of something big and red, therefore it is a dog. 2.) A dog and something else! I love it when dogs are in photos with other things! There are two things in this photo, one of which is not a dog, the other of which is a dog! 3.) More dog! Wow! Look all that dog! 4.) A dog doing what dogs do! Now that's a dog if I ever saw one! Which I have! 5.) Statistically, one of these has to be a dog. This is harder than I thought it would be. 5.) It's a dog eat dog world. Maybe a dog is hidi...

Now is Not the Time to Politicize the Tragedies That Have Happened Inside This Haunted House

In wake of recent events, my thoughts and prayers are with the victims who went missing after our group split up inside the abandoned house to find any valuable heirlooms that had been left behind after the late homeowner died under mysterious circumstances. This tragedy is unspeakable, because many of our mouths have been sealed shut by some otherworldly substance, and I send my warmest condolences to whichever dimension our friends’ souls are tethered to. Right now is a time for consoling the survivors, and mourning the loss of our beloved companion, who told us that she didn't believe in ghosts, right before a phantom emerged from a dusty hallway mirror and pulled her into it. We will never forget the terrified look in her eyes as she pounded her fists on the glass that she was trapped behind. My thoughts and prayers are also with the couple who we heard screaming in what we believe was the very bedroom where the dead body of a priest was found, his lifeless hands clutchin...

My vacation!

I don't get to travel much, but when I do I never know the best way to share my journey. Twitter doesn't give you enough characters, and Facebook is too filled with political posts these days. Instagram banned me for direct messaging photos of my feet to celebrities, so I decided to share my adventures on my blog. I hope you enjoy! Have you ever seen anything so stunning? I haven't because my eyes melted. When I arrived I was immediately taken aback by the view! While I had heard that the scenery would blow me away, I didn't think that my skin would literally fall off of my bones! Found some unwelcome creatures where I stayed... I wish the hotel I stayed at had called an exterminator before I arrived... yuck! The facility was otherwise fine (though the pool of eternally burning fire could have been a little bigger), but I CANNOT stand finding critters where I sleep. I'm sure you wouldn't be able to sleep either if you had these guys crawling under your...
