Today’s obscure holiday is Virus Appreciation Day. It gives us the opportunity to show a little respect for nasty viruses.
Respect!? You want to give viruses respect? I should think not. Rather, let’s give them a good dose of penicillin.
There are many types of viruses: human, animal and computer viruses readily come to mind. We sure can appreciate the seriousness and significance of both human and computer viruses. And, we can worry that animal (aka bird flu) viruses may jump over to affect humans.
So, let’s dedicate today to appreciating that viruses can be very serious, if not deadly. Let’s then take measures to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and even our computers to minimize the risk of serious viruses and update that computer antivirus software (is yours expired?) or get that booster shot (are you overdue?), today is a good day to check that you are up to date!
