Here is whats going on in my life since the Pandemic started.

Actually, it started before the pandemic was officially a pandemic.

Ever since late February, I have been afraid. I kept hearing about coronavirus in China and how its spreading and killing people there. I just thought to myself, this is going to be bad. I knew from the start it was going to go globally. I've always been a little germophobic and I absolutely hate getting sick and I'm terrified of death.

So, it took quite some time from when coronavirus first was discussed on the news to when it finally reached the area where I live. We had a stay at home order and then finally a mask mandate. All through this I have heard people say absolutely horrible things about how it isn't real or how we (as a state or even as a nation for that matter) should not have to worry about coronavirus or do anything about it because its only killing old people. How little respect some of these people have for human life has been disturbing to me. It terrifies me because those old people were living, they had a family, they had friends, they had a life. Its so callous and cold. I dont want my grandparents to get it, I dont want my parents to get it, I dont want anyone to get it. Covid-19 has killed people who weren't old and who didn't have pre-existing conditions. People of all ages have died because of it. The virus can cause heart and lung damage that could quite possibly be permanent.

But so many people haven't cared and it terrifies me.

I have been so stressed out about this whole thing since February. I've been starting to notice other effects that this constant stress, worry, fear, and adrenaline have been doing to me. I get stomach cramps almost nightly, especially if I have to be out somewhere the next day. The thought of going out in public some days has brought me to tears and I feel myself coming close to it more and more often. Its made me more angry. I used to be really calm with people, even if they were really annoying and bothersome. But now, if someone slightly irks me, I'm more likely to be rude to them. Not always, but sometimes.

Of course, I do everything I can to try to stay safe. I stay home as much as possible. I try to stay 6 feet or more away from people. I wear a mask. I hand sanitize often. But its not enough when people openly deny the existence of the virus and totally blow off that people are dying from it or just plain don't care because most deaths are from the elderly people and then they refuse to wear a mask or even social distance or take any preventative measures because all of the previously listed examples.

And here I am, doing what I can, while others do nothing and continue to spread coronavirus. Its so frustrating to me. I used to remind myself that 'we are all afraid' to help me calm down a little. But one look at my surroundings instantly negates that statement.

And that's the terror I've been living in and the reasons for it.

It's a horrible situation we're in, no doubt about it. It's often on my mind, too, and I won't lie to you, the thought of getting this thing scares me. Quite a bit. At least you're doing everything you can to protect yourself and the people around you. That's the part that counts. Because there are still things that we all have to do, and places we have to go. I wish there was something I could say to reassure you more. There'll be a light at the end of this tunnel, even if we can't see it yet, and I don't doubt that we'll get through it; you, me, and everyone else here, even when things seem dark.

Imagine an actor laughing about something that's conflicting in real life. Please get out of character and appreciate this post.

not meaning to be rude but what do you know about her, personally? you know nothing about her irl so don't make assumptions on what she does.
also its kinda funny how you're always being negative and trashing on other people even though you've supposedly put the game 'behind you'.

and loki, this was a good post. it really is terrifying how so many people believe the pandemic is fake, not real. its terrifying how people refuse to follow guidelines put in place to protect them and their loved ones and how they feel the need to go off on people who wear masks, tear them off their faces or worse. its really disgusting and genuinely terrifying. i myself have had someone tell me that i shouldnt wear a mask because the pandemic is fake and that i'd be stupid to believe it as true, even though i trust science over their polluted mindset.
