So many people are getting covid now, even the ones who have been vaccinated. It's kind of scary because even if you are vaccinated you can get really sick. The good thing is that the likelihood of ending up in the hospital or dying is way less if you have been fully vaccinated. But people are just going about their business without masks or precautions and that is why they are getting sick. They are visiting with lots of people and gathering together in enclosed spaces. I'm still here limiting the number of people I visit with and not gathering in large indoor groups.
I wear my mask properly when I go out and stay 2m from other people as much as I can. I don't go out very often and I wash my hands like a mad woman. I haven't been infected with covid and that is probably the reason why. I know so many people are tired of all the restrictions and just want to get back to regular life but there won't be any regular life unless people kick this stupid virus to the curb and unfortunately that isn't going to happen because most people are only about themselves. There is no civic pride or a sense of duty to the greater good. It's all about what is good for the individual at the expense of other people.
Hospitals are full of these people and the people who have done the right thing by being vaccinated now can't get any medical care because these fools have filled up the hospital. They are dying and getting very sick and the rest of us will have to pay the price for this. We will have to pay for their medical care and for when they are permanently disabled and can't work. We may even lose a loved one who can't get timely medical care because the hospitals and Dr's are at max capacity.
So even though I am tired of staying home and not seeing my loved ones very often I still do it because it is the right thing to do. I do not want to catch this and pass it on to someone or end up taking up a hospital bed. I do not want to be an irresponsible person who only thinks of themselves. I wish we could all feel the same way because if we all did we would have kicked this virus early and now we would be back to normal. So thank you to all the lies, misinformation, rampant paranoia and foolish people who believe in this stuff here we are. But even knowing that won't make me be less of a good human. I will still be part of the solution and know in my heart I've done all that I can so that fewer people suffer and die. Can you say the same?
