Many of you have taken it upon yourselves to self quarantine, social distance and abide by the rules your state has implemented for your safety. But, as we can see from the media, there are others that do not take this seriously.
I wonder how serious it would be if one of these folks grandmother got sent to ICU after having contact with one of them that was a carrier. I wonder how serious it would be if their neighbor with cancer couldn’t get their treatments and their health started to fade due to the compromise of them and inability to receive what they vitally need to live...and they had to watch. I wonder how serious it would be if their best friend went into respiratory failure and died. Serious. Why is it so hard to put yourself in someone else’s shoes? Why is it so hard to not be selfish while others are pleading? Why? Why? Why?!!!
Would my sons life be vulnerable? You bet. Would I then fall apart? You bet. What about all of those who have already faced this fate…does it matter at all? It should. You are never promised security or health. You have to be vigilant in seeing the fragility of life and how to best care for yourself and others. How much more can we do or say to enforce this information into your hearts and brains?!
I would hope that these fates never happen to anyone, but they ultimately will. I would hope that this pandemic would be over already and normality could resume, but that is not up to me. Until then, I will keep on screaming along with the others in this community. I will call you out and make you known. I will plead, I will beg.
What if it were you?
