dun dun dun dun

the invasion has begun or at least starting to begin the only advice i can say is try to avoid big crowds as best as possible that way it'd be difficult for the virus to get to you and if you're like me who works in a retail shop where there is the odd busy time or like to go to popular busy places, you've got more chances of being screwed over by this damn thing seriously folks, avoid crowded places if this thing mutates

Interestingly enough, preventative medicine has merit to many insurance companies, although it only goes as far as the pocketbook.  Many dental plans in the US cover orthodontic work because the insurance companies have found that assuming the person stays with the same company when they get their own insurance, the company will save some money years later.  It has long been suspected that misaligned teeth and other dental problems can lead to congestive heart failure and other serious heart related medical issues.  The insurance companies figure that if they pay for 5 kid's mouth-alignments, and they prevent one case of heart disease that they would have had to deal with later, theyhave saved themselves several hundred dollars in expenses.
