Question

My Beloved Son is understandably moving to parts unknown. Can you divine his ultimate destination or is it shrouded in the mists of the unknowable future?


Answer

Your Beloved Son’s ultimate destination is the same place we all shall go ultimately. Back into the cosmic consciousness soup. It’s a blessing to go there and should neither be feared nor eagerly hastened to.

If you are referring to the next geographical destination he is going to during this brief time on Earth, I can assure you that not even he himself knows. Even if he were to think he knows, his expectation and where he actually ends up going is quite unlikely to be the same.

A wise person is open to going where they are needed and/or where the wind takes them. Some go where the whim takes them and that may be the wisest of all for that leads to a life fully lived and most interesting.

My last thought on this question is thus: I indeed could probably divine the most likely place your Beloved Son will geographically go for his next stage in life. However my Ask-a-Wizard site is meant to answer the questions of the universe rather than snoop into the personal whereabouts of individuals. So with that, I shall decline to divine for our gifts of insights into the cosmos should not be used for such things.

Question

What can I do to reduce my likelihood of catching coronavirus?


Answer

Avoid going out in public as much as possible.

Covid-19 is transmitted via breathing in air that other people exhaled. Therefore the below recommendations are all just common sense ways to reduce the likelihood of catching it.

When you are out in public, always wear a mask.

Avoid going to restaurants. If you do go, get take-out and then go home or to a park/nature setting to eat away from everyone else.  If you do eat at a restaurant, eat outdoors and choose a table on the edge.

When in any public setting (including outdoor restaurant seating), position yourself upwind.  That way fresh air is blowing towards you. If you sit downwind then the air is blown through the public area towards you which increases the distance that the virus can travel.

Avoid getting on elevators. If you have to get on an elevator and you see someone get off that wasn’t wearing a mask… don’t get on.  If others try to get on with you that are not wearing masks, get off or ask them to wait until the next elevator and point to signs that require masks and fewer people in elevators.  Always before you get on an elevator take a deep breath and try to hold your breath the entire time you are on the elevator.

Even when wearing a mask, always cough or sneeze into your elbow.

Eat healthy and get lots of vitamin D. You can get vitamin D by getting lots of sunlight on bare skin, eating certain foods or by taking quality supplements. Do a little research to find out which way works best for you. Scientific studies show that being vitamin D deficient makes you more prone to catching covid-19.

Masks are cheap and now N95 masks are available even on Amazon. I recommend buying some N95 masks. They are not as comfortable but they are more effective. When I have to go to areas with lots of people I wear an N95 mask; when I go for a walk where I am not likely to see many people, then I wear a normal mask. When I had to travel on a plane I wore an N95 mask and face shield.

If you have tested positive for coronavirus or have symptoms, then your rules should be slightly different.

  1. Do not go out. Self quarantine. Stop the spreading. Be responsible.
  2. If you must go out (and you shouldn't!), wear a mask and make sure there is at least 12 feet between you and everyone else.
  3. Never be upwind of anyone. The wind will carry your exhales further and infect more people.
Question

Is there any way I can avoid wearing a mask and still be safe from coronavirus?


Answer

Yes, it is definitely possible. I wrote a full page to explain how in great detail.

Question

What do you think of Donald Trump?


Answer

Normally I would not answer any political questions. However the problem in America with Trump goes far beyond politics.

Donald Trump is a narcissist. When given multiple options he tends to choose the most evil option. He is undeniably a:

  1. Rapist
  2. Pedophile
  3. Racist
  4. Womanizer
  5. Dictator wannabee
  6. Cheat who colluded with Russia on 2016 election
  7. Liar to America about Covid-19 which caused unnecessary deaths

Proof of all the above is easy to find. The GoblinsAgainstTrump.com website put together a list of his crimes with supporting links for all the above and more.

In summary, I expect he will go down in history as America’s version of Hitler. I hope Americans demand justice and prosecute him for his crimes against the American people and the world.
