    Coronavirus: A real health threat or not?

    They aren't my numbers. They were published by the CDC. You said you wouldn't air your disagreement as you do it?? That makes sense. It's fine to disagree but these are facts and not fake news. Hopefully that era is almost over.

    Hi! I am new to this so I don't know if this is how it works, SORRY!!

    Coronavirus: A real health threat or not?

    It is absolutely a serious threat. Highly infectious and a wild card of how much damage it will cause to you. There is no way around it. It's not political; just science. Millions die, some go deaf, some never breathe without aid again. Not just old people, either. dpan.tv is a site to get news...

    I hope your first lesson went well. Sign language is beautifully expressive. There are many resources to get help on other fronts. Therapy and support groups; some meet over Zoom or similar services if you want to try them from home first. All the best to you
