Workers (People), if the
authorities direct residents to
remain at home or shelter in
place then STAY INSIDE
(YOUR YARD). OK!
Now, during my research, I
came across this piece of
information which I should
share with the reading public
because to me it is impactful
truth. It can be a matter of life
and death considering how lives
can be impacted.
So let me tell you what I
have read recently, and I’ll start
here: For thousands of years no
one really knew the answer to
certain questions. Meanwhile,
plague (any widespread and
usually contagious disease with
a high fatality rate) and
epidemic (that too, a wide
spread occurrence of a
disease) have taken numerous
lives over the years.
Now hear this: It is said that
scientist learned the truth and
they discovered that diseases
were often caused by the
germs (the beginning from
which something may develop),
microorganism (any organism
of microscopic size such as a
virus or bacteria) and finding out
that one, it helped people
prevent and treat many
diseases which led to billions of
people living longer and
healthier lives.
Workers (People), let me
move on and say and say three
(3) things before I close:
(1) Fire explosions and the
release of the toxic gases
(poisonous fumes can cause
deaths and injuries to us and the
public
(2) The book of Leviticus
containing the instructions given
to the Israelites on how they
were to avoid outbreaks of
contagious diseases capable of
being passed on by contact
including the practice of
quarantine (period of isolation)
and also regarding sanitation, the
law recorded at Deuteronomy
23 vs 12.13 ordered the
Israelites again to care for their
waste in private place outside
their encampment (camp). That
means they had had to “cover
their excrement” in the ground.
Hello! Listen to this, it is only
in the last two years (200) that
scientist doctors have seen
need to set such standards.
Also, let me include the
International Labour
Organisation (ILO)
Occupational Safety and
Health information center for
educating me on this topic along
again with Dr. Alan Le Serve,
George Depeana, Sir Joseph
Nathaniel France .

hill, one only finds that there are
many more hills to climb
