The Cure for Corona Vi... FLU

Here's the cure.  Simple enough really.  Old school, ya know.  It ain't hip, and it's not exciting.  It doesn't have moxie, and not much gravitas.

It's helpful though, and also familiar, like talking to a friend you've known for years.  It's comfortable too, much like that favorite pair of jeans you like to put on when you can.

Here it is, the diagnosis and the cure:  Cease calling COVID-19, COVID-19; it looks and sounds like something brought back from Mars.  Also, stop calling Coronavirus, CoronaVIRUS.  It's creepy, and causes fear.  Period.  It just does.  Yeah, I know, it IS a virus, but that isn't helping anything right now, and right now we need just that: help.

Let's name it something we know and can work with:  The Flu, or coronaflu, or perhaps the corona-crud.  See?  Feel better already don't you?  Now, say it outloud..."Coronaflu".   That felt real good didn't it?  You bet it did!  Yes, sirree, you're on your way to a sound, realistic, optimistic mind.  Leave that looney, irrational, fearful mindset behind mi amigo.  Giddy-up!

Now, pass it on, American.
