This is so sad from my point of view. All of this angst and drama over a virus you will only know you even have due to a test. You feel “off” but not really sick. You feel worse due to the anxiety surrounding it all. You’re upset, your D is upset. Over a virus not even making you actually sick. You’re worried you’ll get blamed if someone else gets sick. You don’t want to spread it. Which is neighborly but if you had the flu would you be this worried? THIS is how this covid crazy has taken on a life of its own. If you do test positive you may feel guilty. I have a few friends that do. They are afraid to tell anyone. Think about that. Some get crazy scared as if it’s a cancer diagnosis even though overall survival remains extremely high. Thank you fear mongering, thank you politicians, thank you media, thank you crazy people. Imagine being more worried about the fallout and drama of the illness rather than the illness itself. That’s where far too many are. It’s how addiction patients feel. It’s how mental illness patients feel. It’s how STD patients feel. Vilifying disease. Getting sick is a part of life. That will never change, no matter how hard we try to change it. It may well be two kinds of people, those who have been exposed to covid and those who will be exposed to hit. No amount of hiding will keep you safe. It’s just life. Hopefully if you do test positive you’ll have a minor case and be virus free in time for surgery. Just please don’t blame yourself for having something you have no control over happening to you.
