Strap It On

I have Covid. It’s not fun and it makes me realize how much everyone needs to protect themselves from this disease. Strange because I had really limited my exposure to other people…mainly because I do have a compromised immune system due to cancer. 

For those who think this is a hoax or those who refuse to wear a mask for all the silly reasons, I have just one thing to say…Strap that fucker on and shut up. I know that seems very harsh, but I’m sick of people not wearing masks because of their freedom being infringed upon. Your personal freedom will be the least of your problems when you’re sick from Covid.

Before I got Covid I used to take walks around the neighborhood. Each time I left my house I noticed that no one was wearing a mask. If I ran across the oddball who wore one, I would wave in appreciation. The people without masks would often give me a pathetic stare as if I was one of those obedient little Liberal Sheeples who follows orders. I got tired of the stares and after a while, I just stopped taking walks. Now I have Covid.

We can never be 100% sure where or how we got it, but one day I did let my guard down and went without a mask. We planned a small gathering in an outdoor setting and now most of us have it. Take this as a warning. Don’t think being outdoors with social distancing is enough to keep you safe. We had at least six feet between us and yet, most of us are Covid positive now.  

Please be smart and put a mask on. If not for yourself, could you do it for others? Because take it from me…when it spreads within your group of peers, it moves fast and takes no prisoners. I hope that those I love will be fine, but it is very scary and I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Stay well everyone!
