I never stop tiring of writing in Covid-19, because being confined to my home, my writing is keeping me sane.

Anna Camp’s Covid experiences

Anna Camp from ‘Pitch Perfect’ talks about the fact that ‘anyone can catch the virus.’ Where Anna has opened-up about her symptoms, she urges people to continue to wear face masks.

Anna knows that anyone can catch Covid. Having followed the precautionary measures throughout by wearing a mask and hand-sanitising, just as public places opened-up again, on the one occasion she decided not to wear a mask, she caught Covid. The virus hasn’t gone, just because restrictions have been lifted.

Covid isn’t like the flu

Talking through her experiences, she talked about how Covid-19 was nothing like the flu. “Contracting a virus that is untreatable, that no-one knows about or what the long-term irreparable damage is, or what it does to your immunity, is stressful.”

Anna lost her sense of taste and smell and/or not knowing when they would return, she said was scary and disorientating. For Anna that included extreme fatigue, dizziness, impacted sinuses. She also had nausea, vomiting, a stomach upset and a fever. The actress acknowledged, ‘everyone must do their part and wear a mask.’

Wearing a mask is saving lives

She said, “wearing a mask is saving lives. Thank you to everyone who reached out to check on me during this scary time. Please be safe out there. Let’s all do our part and wear a mask. I don’t want any of you to go through what I did. Even though it’s a little thing, it can have a huge impact, and it’s so incredibly easy to do.” (Source: yahoo.com)

Conclusion

On the 24th February, the UK government decided to lift precautionary measures for Covid, with independent scientists saying very little about the fact the measures have been lifted, even though it has been proved that masking up can help reduce Covid-19.

Because of lifting restrictions and being high risk, I am now confined to my home. I go out for walks masked up. It may feel like an inconvenience because you want your life back, but without keeping yourself safe, there will be little of a life to get back into. Covid doesn't care whose lives it touches.

The biggest inconvenience will be having to take time to nurse yourself around a virus that is untreatable. Scientists haven’t talked about or confirmed there is a cure. There is no end to Covid.

Anna Camp is right. Masking Up is important if we are to help reduce Covid-19, save illness and save lives.
