Not running away to the circus

So it’s possibly Day 2 or 3 of this Covid jag. To be fair, I’m not quite sure I wasn’t ill in Vienna. Quite a few of us were unwell during the trip. This would mean that this would probably be Day 8 or 9?

I’m quite sure this intense apathy is a symptom of Covid. Because to be completely honest, I couldn’t necessarily care less about anyone or anything at the moment. I’m just so very tired and just want to hibernate.

At the moment, I just want to shout to everyone – NOT MY CIRCUS, NOT MY MONKEYS.

Stay home!

We’re in this for the long haul. We’re literally held hostage by this microscopic collection of nuclei acid, proteins and lipids. It’s not even an organism. It’s not even alive!

I’ve never been unaware of the risk. I know the consequences and the reality of things. But when a family friend dies, he was a gifted cardiologist working the front lines in Manila, and a dear friend from my call centre days falls ill enough to be put on a ventilator in a hospital in New York, it hits home. It hits home in the hardest way.

Please everyone, I beg you, stay home. Keep away from people. If only to protect yourself from catching it and giving it to someone else. Wash your hands so you don’t get the virus and spread it. Please don’t think you’re invincible. We’re all at risk, others at a higher risk that the rest. I beg you to think of how your actions will affect everyone else. We’re all in this pond together. No matter what everyone says, we’re all inextricably linked.
