So before I get into details I want to say this is NOT a political thing AT ALL ...
I really enjoy Facebook, I can spend hours and hours just scrolling and scrolling. If I see anything political or anything that might annoy me I zoom right past..
Well I belong to our local towns news page and I love it as it shows any activities going on farmers market, sales ads for Mom and pop stores, Keeps track of sports at our school, Have a spotlight on a person each week.. So lots of positives.
Well last night Someone posted about COVID and how she was shocked that when she was out virtually no one is wearing masks while in stores, My Gov is garbage and he hasn't even said " if at all possible please wear a mask while shopping" Well our number of cases is climbing.. One woman talked about how she wishes there could be some tracing to just help people be more aware.. Many others were saying same thing ,Just wanting everyone to do there part in trying to cut down on people getting infected..
Everyone knows that people need to get back to work But it should be done carefully. Of course someone comes along , Guy looks to be 25-30 and hes all " screw masks ! I am not going to live in fear , No one can MAKE me wear one.. Let the strong survive , herd immunity blah blah blah..
People were trying to reason with him, Talking about people shedding this virus for weeks and not even know it, or all the asymptomatic people who never get a sniffle but can infection 2-3 and they infect 4-5 and on and on.. Hes blasting off about how the media has influenced and causing fear for nothing. Yes we know that on any topic the media can twist and turn things... Many gave him links to sites that show true numbers. Of course he just got even more nasty. Everyone gave up and finally said they hope he doesnt infect a loved one..
My reply to him and anyone like him.... Maybe the numbers are off , but regardless we have young healthy people losing there lives along with old healthy people and those that have other health problems. The way masks even work is I wear my mask to protect others, If they wear one they are protecting me.. Of course its not 100% but its something. I said my husband and I are both high risk , my husband more so as I sit and see him on oxygen fighting off a non covid infection, but even if he were to be in the best health possible for him as a person with COPD can be.. He is still high risk.. So I guess my life and my husbands are disposable... Culling the herd, Heard immunity... Why cant people just wear a mask while out shopping for another month and see if Covid is truly decreasing... Why cant human beings just be kind to other human beings and not just think about there self... Is wearing a mask such a gigantic inconvience? It is really ripping away your rights to be kind and careful to others to maybe help save a life?
It just really makes me very sad.. I dont want to hear the flu kills X amount every year and people arent forced to do anything.. This isnt the " flu" I have seen the best in people as we fight this plague but I am also seeing the worst, of course. Good/Bad Right/wrong Caring/careless
Maybe Covid is population control like I have thought for a long time, Rid the world of people like my husband and I , we are on disability and medically we cost money, We die thats alot of money that can be saved.
Sorry maybe I should not even post this.... But I am just sad that so many people dont give a rats azzzzz about anyone but themselves..
