My older brother died in April 2019 prior to Covid.

He had guillain barre which made him immune-compromised. So much so that the flu could easily become pneumonia - and that a flu shot could easily kill him.

He was put on a ventilator and the shock of the effects of https://twitter.com/AtomikkBomb/status/1276435653757030401">https://twitter.com/AtomikkBo...

the flu that put him into pneumonia put his body under so much stress he suffered a massive stroke and died.

Many folks are like my older brother, and most aren& #39;t as immunocompromised as he was.

you wear a fucking mask to protect others.

You don& #39;t go to TGI fridays

because you can wait on your mediocre food, and maybe save a life.

You don& #39;t go bowling with your friends because maybe you& #39;ll encounter someone who couldn& #39;t survive this virus.

You have basic human empathy because that& #39;s how we get through this.

You wanna scream like a baby at the staff at a grocery store because they won& #39;t let you shop there because you refuse to wear a mask? Get door dash so no one has to deal with you.

Wear a mask. Stay six feet apart, and don& #39;t go out if you don& #39;t have to.

/end.

smal addendom:

There is someone in your life like my older brother.

Protect them.

Even if you don& #39;t - protect those folks who need to be protected. Thats why you wear the mask and maintain physical distance.

Be a good person.
