Thread: Lots going on in the world right now but here& #39;s something personal yet large scale that I want to explain.
In addition to mass death, economic downturn, etc... #COVID is scary b/c I have an autoimmune disease & must strictly quarantine b/c others in my state refuse masks.

If you& #39;re in #GA, you likely already know several people within your close circle diagnosed w/ COVID b/c our numbers in general are so high. Even those taking strict precautions are getting sick. I know those ppl.
So I #StayAtHome

BUT....
I& #39;ll turn 26 soon, which means I& #39;ll be getting kicked off my parent& #39;s health insurance.
As mentioned in the first tweet, I have chronic health issues. So not only am I running away from #COVID19 every day, my body is already fighting itself. This requires FREQUENT doc visits.

In preparation for not having insurance, I moved up all my doc appts and have been going a lot this month. My regular office closed (COVID related), so I have to go to a HOSPITAL to see my health team. So, even more exposure to COVID in order to try staying healthy & avoid COVID.
This could& #39;ve been so different w/ simple enforcement of rules.
I know...freedom & stuff. There& #39;s beauty in being American & having rights. But we are too stubborn & now is not the time.
I guarantee you know someone #highrisk w/ #chronicillness. They just haven& #39;t disclosed it.

If you& #39;re a human, please #WearAMask.
If you& #39;re an elected official, please push for a #MaskMandate.
If you know someone still stuck at home to protect their weakened immune system, check on them. It has been 5+ months. Even introverts are tired of this.

Also, #depression & chronic illness often come hand-in-hand. You know what doesn& #39;t help depression? Being isolated for months on end.
Reach out to your people, even when you don& #39;t feel like it.
Our "leaders" are failing us in a spectacular way, but we still have each other.
