I haven’t been inside a store in 3 to 4 weeks or really out minus ridding in the car to get dog meds from the vet so this stuff I guess doesn’t fully pertain to me because I’m not going out until it’s safe. I refuse to be the one to bring it home and kill my grandmother with it. My mother goes out once a week to get groceries minus having to go buy a new washer and dryer yesterday because the dryer died and the washer was holding on by a thread. My dad has no choice and has to go to work luckily he operates heavy machinery and really doesn’t come in contact with many people but is terrified of bring it home and making me sick as well as killing my grandmother. If I sit here and focus on every single way it can get into my house I will end up in the psych ward sedated. |
Aw, no need to worry yourself sick when just a few steps of sensible care-taking can make you and yours as safe as possible as the virus can't walk itself into your home and leech onto your hands and into your nose and mouth. And most who get it do make it through it, even super-elderly age 85 and over. I hear and see so many reports of people still being out and about, living lives almost as usual with little to no social distancing, still having get-togethers, dates, family dinners, that it's likely a good deal of them and their elderly friends, relatives getting Covid 19 and passing it on.
The heedless behavior of far too many people and the non-compliance with simple steps for staying safe and failure to stay 6+ feet from each other likely make up the majority of those getting sick or carrying the virus to others as the rest of us aren't recklessly living lives as usual as so many still are.
