Covid-19 is an equal opportunity global killer. It makes no difference between race or social standing. To keep virus from spreading, we all need to literally spread out and stay at least 2 meters away from anyone, but the best way to stifle the spread is to stay home.
Stay 2 meters away from everyone even better, please #StayHome.
