If you did not know by now, COVID is some pretty strong crud that we need to act on fast and hard.
I have stood against anti-vaxxers proudly both on Koz, FB and the meat world. We are talking about life and death here, folks. I am very sick with multiple comorbid conditions and I have been told that if I got the virus I’d be just as good as dead.
Living in a nursing home I was one of the first to get two shots of the vaccine and I am waiting for word when we will be getting the third shot here at the nursing home.
But the closeness and seriousness of COVID happened very close to home to me today. One of my best friends son, daughter in law, and 2 kids, one 6 months and one 3 years have been tested positive, along with my close friends. Thank G-d the adults have been vaccinated with 2 shots, so far their reaction has been mild but still worrisome. They are mostly afraid for the 2 kids, so if you’re a praying sort there are 2 candidates you might want to include in your thoughts.
My friend’s husband, also a close friend, had been out of town during this whole adventure. He just came back tonight so they think he avoided getting it, but he and his wife will wear masks and stay separated all night until he goes to the clinic for testing tomorrow.
They are not sure who gave who the virus that spread it to the others, but they seem to think it was at daycare with the 3 year old. I am not blaming anti-vaxxers for transmitting it to my friends, there is of course no way of knowing. But with this serious of a virus that puts whole families at risk in such a short time frame just shows how serious it is, and how we need to do something to increase the rate of vaccinations.
