Yes, it is the 12th day of self-isolation for me, but I only now decided to start writing about my experience. About two weeks ago today my manager called me and told me to work from home and keep myself Quaran
tined for the next 14 days because we had all been in contact with a person who was himself in contact with a woman sick with the coronavirus.
Did I freak out when I heard the news that I may experience Covid-19 symptoms in the next few days? No, I didn’t.
Was I concerned that my past with asthma might make my potential illness more severe? Again, no, I was not.
But was I concerned at all? Yes, very concerned.
I was concerned that anyone out there could possibly be infected. I was scared for the older people working in my office, and I was concerned that our lives would somehow be changing into something unpredictable.
The concern only lasted about 20 minutes though, because I am not an idiot.
I stayed in my home, self-isolated or quarantined or whatever you want to call it, and I made sure not to interact with any person physically in any type of way even after days went by and I didn’t show any Covid-19 symptoms.
Coronavirus or any type of pandemic is not about YOU! It is about US. I am so sick and tired of idiots out there doing nothing to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.
There are older adults and sick people who cannot afford to get this type of virus. There are cancer patients fighting for their lives right now because they can’t get to treatments due to outbreaks all over the world.
All this is happening, and what are the covidiots doing? Suntanning.
Please, for the love of all that is good, DO NOT be a covidiot. Give people a chance to survive, give all of our lives a chance to resume to normal. Just stay home!
