alright i’ve had more than enough! since it’s obviously not clicking for some of ya, let’s talk about social distancing & COVID-19:
first of all, coronavirus is NOT THE FLU. the flu is constantly evolving into new strains; still, vaccines are available each year to lessen the severity or possibly prevent infection. coronavirus on the other hand is caused by a SINGLE virus & a vaccine is still developing.
that being said, YOU CANT APPROACH THEM THE SAME WAY!! ONE IS EXTREMELY DEADLY ACROSS ALL AGES AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE ERADICATED LIKE SMALLPOX OR MEASLES. each year we prepare for flu season anyways and take extra precautions & no one complains?
second, it is GOVERNMENT MANDATED to stay home! just because it isn’t enforced doesn’t mean you get a free pass to go hang out with all of your friends! we’re lucky enough to have webcams-take advantage of it! there’s no need to be sitting on top of your friends at parties
i understand it‘s difficult for those who suffer from mental health issues (myself included) & sometimes a change of scenery is needed! go for a walk or a drive, but don’t do it in crowded public spots- that’s disregarding everyone else’s right to stay healthy & THAT’S selfish
it’s not fun or easy to stay home but honestly it’s just disrespectful for the people who’ve already died, their loved ones who can’t even burry them properly or cope with that loss & people currently sitting in icu on ventilators, tubes stuck in them, fighting with each breath.
it’s not “gods plan” for innocent people & children to be dying from a PREVENTABLE illness! i don’t care what anyone thinks, you can’t preach to be a person of faith while you may be actively, WILLINGLY contributing to the death of countless humans. that’s unacceptable.
whether you agree with it or not, the more you leave your house, the longer it’s going to take until things get back to normal so if you don’t want to stay home bc you care about other people, at least do it so we can get on with our lives & go back to our jobs & classes by fall
hope the ones who made it thru this thread are the ones who needed to hear it most, but probs not so oh well.. stay home & stay HEALTHY!
