Ok I have a vent, it concerns the old Madame Covid de Nineteen, so if you don't want to read about my thoughts and feelings don't.
First and foremost, One of the lifeguards at the pool came into work after taking a sick day off, and she came back to work still feeling sick with several corona symptoms, a few day's after being exposed to an active case of Madame Corona. That is my sister coworker with whom she has been working all week, so the pool is closed until Wednesday, on Monday or Tuesday we should know weather or not the guard had the Virus. Turns out we were double exposed this week as my sister and Her family came to visit this week, turns out my sister had gone to a store the same week that ten of the employees tested positive. So now My Other Niece, came down with a fever three day's ago and is covered in hives, and we watch her while her mom is at work. In short, people are dumb.
My sister didn't know about the workers until after they visited so I'll let her off the hook. But I just want to strangle my sisters Coworker right now, how inconsiderate and stupid can one individual be. Anyway to continue with the story, My niece had a video call with a doctor and they said it could be it might not be, but they aren't going to test her. And the family is hard core quarantining until the life guard results come in, though we'll probably be staying in until the 17 anyway aka. I'm missing a Girls Camp thing. But If I'm being honest I'm more worried about my dad than the Girls camp thing, because he is a high risk individual with a week immune system, asthma, and is in his late 50's he'll be 59 in a weak. So when they say High risk individuals they're talking about people like my dad, two of my sisters have asthma as well so they both have a higher risk than normal individuals.
I just, when people talk about how quarantine is stupid and that the virus is not a big deal I just want to slap them. I'm a normal person, I'm perfectly fine if I were to get it, I can see why people wouldn't think it's a big deal, it would just be a not good time, but we're not quarantining for them we're not shutting things down because of them. we're being cautious because of people like my dad, we're shutting down because there are millions of people across the world who could die from this. we're not shutting down for people like me. It's not about us, it's about them.
And it kills me to say that because I know there are families and people suffering because they're out of a job and they're out of a home, but I'm selfish, and I want my dad to be safe. If people are going to protest and ask for an end to this quarantine, at least do it for the right reasons, do it because you need to work so you can provide for yourself and your family. Don't do it because you're bored, don't do it because you want to go hang out with your friends, because you'll survive without those things, And if my dad had been forced to be in a classroom teaching a bunch of middle schoolers, he wouldn't have been safe. So yes I understand the people that want to go do things and want their lives to be normal and want to go to parks and restaurants and other things, but I also understand that there are people with family members that would not be safe. In short, people need to get a backbone, because the people who are out here complaining usually aren't the ones who have a right to be.
And I'm not saying, to never go anywhere, I'm saying, be smart, use your head and be considerate, we can't just decide we're done social distancing, we can't just decide to open things back up, because that's how people end up dead.
That is the end of my vent.
