The COVID Affect

You’re not worried about yourself. You don’t fit the demographics for anything other than a normal viral reaction. So why should the restrictions apply to you? Why should you suffer because someone else may get sick?

No matter your race, nationality, or lifestyle, COVID-19 will affect you dearly. The world will not be the same after this. If you are fortunate enough not to be personally touched, or know anyone who is, you still will be affected financially. Your employment opportunities, investments, insurance premiums, product availability, neighboring shops, bars, and restaurants you frequent, and countless other factors will be negatively impacted by the Corona virus. The more people infected, the longer and more intense the results.

Even healthy young adults I know who believe they had or have the virus tell me COVID was a tough illness to get through. It isn’t anything you want to be flippant about. If you do get it, you are likely to be down for the count for several weeks.

Please be responsible for the sake of the vulnerable and yourself. Wash your hands thoroughly and often, respect social distancing until notified, and be a beacon of light. Call or text friends, send note cards to those living alone, post uplifting quotes, music, video, and photos. Before we know it, we will be longing for quiet time at home again.

    The response to Covid was always about protecting the many, but people took it personally. We are the fortunate ones who did not get Covid, because I am married to someone whose job used to be infection control. Also, because we believed in the vaccine and still do. Sowing distrust in a system designed to protect us was not the right way to go, but many leaders did it so they could remain popular. You are right Mary, Covid-19 affected us all, even if we did not get the disease. Have a good evening. Allan

      Good for Patty! I wish I knew her then or got word via you and a post. I didn’t catch COVID until several years later in Greece. Several people in our group caught it and passed it on while we traveled in buses.

Talk to me. I’m curious about your thoughts and comments.
