The month of September is almost over and it's amazing to see the statistics of the COVID numbers. The social media and news aren't covering the health/COVID aspect anymore, it seems there are other fishes to fry and take notice of (politics, the Royal Family, President Biden, former President Trump and scandals, etc). However, if anyone actually would take the time to look they would see that COVID isn't gone and that it's still a current concern that people should still take precautions with.
Yes I know we aren't seeing the death tolls high or seeing a drastic infection count from how contagious the interactions from an infected person is, thanks to the vaccinations and booster shots that were released. That doesn't mean though that the worst is over or that things can't revert back to a fearful time again. People aren't as conscientious anymore to using even hand sanitizer or wipes anymore. In case you're wondering I stated "even hand sanitizer" because I had already observed prior to COVID, how disgusting the women in today's world are; its awful to witness and know first hand how many even use the restroom but leave not even having washed their hands. So thinking how unconcerned the women are with their own hygiene, of course I can conclude or react in not trusting the world to be cautious in being COVID free. What makes me think that someone who could easily wash their hands for twenty seconds actually take care to not spread or be a host to a disease that has the ability to "cripple" (I use that term loosely) someone once they are diagnosed with COVID.
Do I believe that the vaccinations and boosters have helped, yes of course, but that still doesn't rule out the responsibility that every citizen has in securing that COVID doesn't have another ugly outbreak as it did when the strand was first released...I have all my vaccinations and even my boosters thus far. Have you? Or are you one of those people who think that you and/or your family shouldn't be vaccinated at all? Either way, as wonderful as it is to have life back into some normalcy, it doesn't mean we throw complete caution to the wind. For example what I noticed was that many people began to travel for pleasure and leisure there was a spike in COVID numbers, then when the school year formerly commenced again another spike; with the lower counts registered as well with similar circumstances justifying the numbers. But don't take my word for it, take a look for yourself: covid numbers in texas
I mean I've had COVID once already pretty badly (along with the residual symptoms that stayed with me for almost two years) and even though they say it's not likely you'll get as sick the second time around if you should catch it again...well needless to say I don't believe in that. Yes, your body has a chance to create antibodies after it's first battle with COVID but that doesn't mean that your body is always running at the same capacity or level of nutrients. Therefore, for example, my family and I will enjoy eating out (at restaurants) yet because of everyone's level in comfort from COVID we've been able to notice a decline in how thoroughly tables are cleaned; hence, why in turn we are still carrying our cleaning wipes and disinfecting our table where we sit at least. I have little ones and still make them wear their masks when entering into public restrooms and my family and I still wear masks when there are large groups or bodies of people in the same area that we will be in. What works in our favor to not always have to wear masks, is that we've managed to develop a routine to the establishments we frequent, that we know when there aren't so many people there.
Do you have any special routines to help stay healthy or COVID free? I guess the moral of this post is!…can we at least still be courteous to those not wanting to have COVID and have some sense to hygiene!
Sincerely,
A Distinct Woman
