2 weeks after, covid came.
I thought this wouldn't last so much. One part of me knew this would probably last more than a year.But another part of me hoped that wasn't true.The truth is, i went from being on day each week with my grandma to nothing. It was a shock.+

Im miserable everyday. The thought that she might die before i get to be with her again truly haunts me. I have cried bc of all this. But above everything, she is the one who's suffering the most. At least i spend most of my day with my family with whom i share my house. +
But she lives alone. Before all this she would see me, my aunt and my cousin. It was hard for her being alone still. And now it's worst. She has almost nothing to do all day. She can't sleep that well and being so many hours without any activity takes a toll. +
I call her everyday, so does my mom, my aunt and my cousin, but it's not enough. She is visibly sad and tired. And that also makes me more miserable. But i know this is all for her safety. I couldn't bare being responsible for her suffering or even death. +
A bunch of days ago i decided to go see her. She was on her balcony and i was talking to her from the ground. It was only 10 mins bc it was very windy and she was starting to get cold. I didn't dare see her from the stairs bc if i was afraid i wouldn't resist hugging her. +
We hug a lot...or we used to. She even mentioned recently that she misses me hugging her and shaking her in the process. She also mentions a lot that sometimes shes sitting in her usual armchair and when she looks at the sofa where i usually am she gets disappointed bc she +
Thought i was there. She also says she thinks a lot of when i was a kid. I think those memories are what keep her going. But it also makes her sad bc they are now memories of something we thought we had for a certainty.
One day i forgot to call her and i legit had a panic attack, cried like hell until i fell asleep. So you can see how really important she is to me. She raised me. She took care of me, even after she didn't need to.
So, when i see people, specially people my age, in my country and even in the world going out like this is free real estate, doing parties, being with a bunch of people just bc, i get pissed. And i mean REALLY PISSED. "I want to hurt those people really bad" type of pissed.
"Quarentine is soooo sad booboo i wanna drink some beers with my peers and make a birthday party with 101 people".
Do you guys understand how insensible it is what you say? Your actions?

You guys think that by being young its ok, you can get covid and all will be fine (which in fact as been shown that being young and even healthy doesn't mean shit to the virus).
But what about your family? What about other people's families?

Your way of thinking not only makes no fucking sense, but it is literally making things worse. If people keep going out this pandemic will go from ending in like a bit less than year to 2/3 years.
I will go from being with my grandma in a year to only after 2/3.

She might die until then.
Your actions show that you don't give a damn about the world around you. We moaned about old people not giving a damn about the world for years.
Now you are like them.

I'm like 98% sure this thread won't make a difference but please. Think about the other people and stop acting worse than a child.
