I have to mute people right now. I’m one of the ones broadcasting how to survive this and some are not listening.

It’s heart breaking to see the rampant willfull ignorance winning.

People are offering themselves up like lambs to the slaughter thinking they’re bulletproof...
There are people who have no choice but to go to work encountering a large population of people every single day in a situation where we have a highly infectious virus.

We don’t know why people without pre-existing conditions are dying.

we don’t have a solid treatment.
People are risking their lives every single day encountering this population.

we don’t have enough PPE. Our medical professionals are dying.

I worked 12 hours yesterday. I have people I work w/who don’t have jobs anymore.

I have people who don’t know how they’re going to eat.
We have a derelict administration in our government pushing for use of an unconfirmed treatment with known lethal side effects for a virus we don’t fully understand.

we don’t have enough tests. We don’t have enough ventilators. We’re going to start burying bodies in the park...
And here we are with people treating this like it’s a vacation. The entitlement is incredible.

I won’t eat takeout. I had a little bite of takeout once from a family member who came to visit from out of town because we have a family member in the hospital now...I’m now concerned
I don’t think this family member has COVID-19. However they’re being tested just in case bc they fall within the elderly bracket w/pre-existing conditions.

we are all going to get this virus. It’s going to happen. But we want that spread out over the course of a year not 1 month
That’s what “flattening the curve” means.

Every single one of us has the opportunity to change this. Stay at home if you can. Send one person out to get supplies. Have them shower when they get home and put their clothes in the washer. Wipe down your groceries in the garage.
It is so upsetting to be consistently sounding the alarm on how to survive this pandemic and not do damage to other people...while people sit there ignoring what you say.

They want to argue. They want to say “it’s my freedom“. They want to believe every miracle cure they read...
It doesn’t help when our derelict government both federal and state ignore what’s needed to save our citizens...and push propaganda to save face and make money.

It’s really hard right now. Please listen to the scientists. Please listen. Please...
