🌱Covid: Lots of awful stuff Happening by Uluri

CVS Covid Testing: https://www.cvs.com/minuteclinic/covid-19-testing 


I don't have it, as I am pretty damn susceptible to this virus if I catch it and been taking precautions as much as possible, but I live in a very anti-vax / anti-mask area. You can imagine how difficult that makes getting supplies when everyone around you wants to cough in your direction because you wear a mask. Oh, but can you guess what this Journal's actually about? Half of my family is Anti, and can you tell who has covid? All of them. ALL. oF. tHEM. 


The local school board are absolute imbeciles, too. A huge amount of people in school have covid right now AND they are still doing in person classes. Entire classrooms are quarantined at home. They were doing sports practices like (American) football and cheer leading. Masks not mandatory either. Not even a week open and cases all over the place. 


Back to my family. Guys, Covid can be really bad. It might not effect you in a deadly or life altering way, but it can effect quite a lot of people in that sort of way. The Anti side of my family also happens to be some of the most vulnerable. They aren't vaccinated because they think it's just the flu. The one who especially thinks so called me the other day informing about him (and everyone else in the family) having covid.


He sounds like a grinder while also being choked. He could barely talk. He told me he could barely even move. He told me he was sweating so much he is dehydrated. He sounds like he can die at any moment. He is refusing to get help still insisting it's just like the flu. It's not. He might die because of this crazy stubbornness. Even if I've told him countless times before. Even now that I've told him he needs help right now. Whether he lives or dies right now, he will have some pretty shitty lasting side effects for sure. How messed up that their thought process to being in such a state is to say "I'm fine. Covid is just a flu." After saying all that.


Half my family has covid right now. Some of them are in incredibly bad state. I know people who have died from covid already earlier in 2020 before the vaccine was even available. I have other family and friends who are autoimmune and can't take the vaccine and need to stay home to be safe as possible. It shouldn't take someone you personally know dying to try to keep them or yourself safe. Try to keep them and yourself safe and healthy BEFORE you find out how badly this virus will react to your body.


[Ranting begins]
Don't be like my stupid ass family. Or stupid ass community. You are seriously putting yourself and others in danger if you aren't trying to do anything at all. I will urge to get vaccine if you can, links at the top, and I also linked if you need to get tested. You don't have to pay for the vaccine even if you don't have insurence. Wear masks, social distance, and don't go to large ass gatherings.


Bullshit this is like the flu. Get that shit nonsense out of your fucking head. It's Covid. I tried so fucking hard to keep myself and family safe, but they actively tried to do the opposite for me. It has been a disgusting nearly two years of family constantly trying to get me to not wear masks, go to parties/outings, and go to fucking stores that are anti-mask even after I told them about my stupid ass health constitution. Imagine, you tell your parents that your health is in a state that a virus that's spreading across the world can kill you if you catch it and they go "Don't believe the fucking government. I have better research I found on YouTube. It won't kill you. It's just the flu. You have to Live your life." Yeah? For a week you mean? Before I stop breathing because my lungs are shit? I already drop to the floor if I hop five times. I have to go to the doctor at least twice a year because I get infections all the time. This makes me want to cry. 


[Edit] Yes I be Vaccinated. I'm like, the only one.

    I had a co-worker who had 3 people in her family (who are all very nearly anti-vaxxers) die of COVID-19 last year. People just refuse to understand how serious this is. We’re back to a mask mandate (in all public indoor settings) in my state, but many people come to the Library and refuse to put one on. sigh

    So many people who get this all have different experiences, too. Some have mild conditions, some get hospitalized. Some honestly think they’ve just got the flu and suffer through it, some who try to get help can’t even get into hospitals because they’re overcrowded. It’s a nightmare situation and if everyone just tried the vaccine, or masks or social distancing—we wouldn’t be in this situation this badly now. It never helped that there were political leaders who made it “about freedom” and poisoned people’s minds on these common sense things. :/

    I had one other co-worker…..she, her husband and daughter (teenager) all got it in summer of 2020–and each of their experiences were so different. She had the mild “flu-like” symptoms and full loss of taste—her husband was bad enough to have to go to the hospital, while her daughter barely suffered much at all. But even now, she says that sometimes things just don’t taste right anymore to her—so that’s something that will never go away in her life after having it.

    I really hope you can stay safe and distant from your family while they make it through it. Hang in there.
