I know, I sound like a selfish, heartless bitch.
"WAH! Can't Covid just go away already?!"
But you know you are all thinking it.
It dominates my social feeds, my news, and even discussions with those I speak with. When I get gas - the threat looms. When I get groceries - the threat looms. When I walk the neighborhood - the threat looms!
Don't touch anything.
Don't touch your face.
Stay 6 feet back.
And if someone sneezes or coughs in public we're all panicking.
I fully understand the dangers of the Covid-19. People are dying.
**********
I'm angry.
I'm frustrated.
I'm disappointed.
WHY?
My life rests on depending on the idea that others will be responsible. And I have no faith that they will be.
I don't like that I'm at the mercy of the masses - that in my eyes tend to mostly make bad decisions.
How many don't wash their hands after using the restroom? Before eating? After changing a baby diaper? After being in a hospital or medical facility? After taking public transit?
I've witnessed many not following good hygiene habits over the years. I'm certain you have too. Or you are the one that doesn't bother to use soap at vital moments.
So much rides on people respecting others enough to make efforts to follow better hygiene convention yet I can tell you from the small sample I see at the grocery store THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
People don't respect themselves enough to wash their hands after taking a crap, do you think they care to stay home from the mall if they have a fever?
It sickens me to know the few usually fuck it up for the many. A few people got this virus and now it's a pandemic.
Greed and stupidity will still be around after all this blows over. Life may change because our governments may enact rules and laws to help protect us. Yet people will still do what they did before because why?
We've all heard the excuses in the last few weeks:
It's my right to go anywhere I want.
It's my privilege to still go out.
I don't have to follow the rules.
I'm a free person and I can do whatever I like.
Oh, that doesn't affect me, I live in an area less affected.
I don't care.
And the doozy "This is all a hoax."
Why the rant?
Because I'm a cynic. Ask anyone that knows me well, I don't trust people to do the right thing. Yes, I know some do yet generally us humans have fucked shit up for thousands of years. We keep doing it, never learning from our past. Or, hell, even our present.
I wish we were different but we're not, it seems to be in our genetics. We can't help ourselves.
