I have something to say
I don’t think that most people realize that behind the small data numbers that represent our most vulnerable populations, populations that this virus could very well be a death sentence for, are actual human beings, with lives and families of their own.
I continuously see headlines saying, that only a very small percentage of people may die, making it seem like this virus isn’t that big of a deal at all. As part of that percentage, I can assure you that it is a huge deal.
I haven’t left my house since March 23 unless it was for absolute necessities like food, I have refused to step foot in a hospital despite needing treatment, I have had to do all of it on my own, out of fear of getting this virus. Because I know, that if by any chance I do get it, it will kill me.
This virus has made us lose part of our humanity from my perspective, seeing people deliberately deciding to not wear a mask while having no real reason to excuse their behavior, is unbelievable. They don’t care about the small percentage of people who are affected, because to the general population, we are just a small number in a data set, we aren’t even people.
