#deltavariant

Single-Handedly one of the most infuriating things that I have zero control over at the moment are the personal choices of the people around me regarding COVID-19.

None of the people in my state, Florida, seem to care about the person next to them. They live as though I, or the person next to them, may not be directly affected by their personal choices. Like not getting vaccinated and then choosing not to wear masks into public places. Them getting sick, and then going out in public spaces with no precaution and spreading it further. Them testing positive and then keeping it a family secret so others don't know about it.

I am so enraged by the actions of others in my life at the moment.

My mother, brother and father ended up getting COVID. My parents went and got the Monoclonal Treatment, the same parents who refused to get the vaccine because there weren't enough tests done on them, and I can only hope they are feeling better. But my brother refused the treatment because, "It hasn't had enough tests done on it."

A life-saving treatment....just like the vaccine was life saving.....and he doesn't believe it has been tested enough.

What a cruel cycle.

I am so upset by the idea that I can't tell if I am sick or not. I can't tell whether I have been infected or not. I also wont get paid if I quarantine, BECAUSE MY BOSS WHO WAS POTENTIALLY EXPOSED WON'T SHUT DOWN OUR WORK.

I am mad because even though I wash my hands, wear a mask, stay six feet from everyone, and disinfect EVERYTHING I can whenever I can, it feels like I have 20 people coughing on me wherever I go.

I am mad because precaution has been made into "fear mongering". As if our instincts telling us to be afraid of BEARS AND NOT TOUCH THEM IS "FEAR MONGERING". There is a healthy fear to something that could kill you or your neighbor.

So many of my family has hit the hospital with this shit, and some of y'all still think it's a game?

Like, meet me in public and tell me to my face how my families life doesn't matter compared to your fucking inconvenience. I'll show you how much disregard I have for your opinion while I rock your world.

Stop being selfish, stop acting as if you are the only one alive, as if your life is the only one affected by your choices when they aren't.

Good people are getting sick because inconsiderate people refuse to think beyond themselves. Nurses and Doctors are working at 100%, but people who think this is a game are working at 150% to spread this. I'm fucking over this whole thing.

I hope everyone stays safe and healthy. I hope everyone starts acting smart and actually doing something about this fucking virus. I hope we all go under mandatory lockdown. I hope everything gets shut down for 2 weeks or longer until everyone can get their shit together and start acting like cohesive adults. I hope everyone comes to their senses and get's vaccinated. I hope everyone from this point forward acts right and stops being selfish. I hope we are free of COVID in this office. I hope we are all making wise decisions. I hope we are all doing our part. I hope everything turns out to be alright. I hope my family lives through this and deflects any and all negative physical, emotional, mental or spiritual ailments.

And I hope the coughs I am hearing are all sinus related.
