The daily prompt asks a question that isn’t one of my favorites – How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?
Fine I get my shot each year. Just like I get my flu shot every year. I believe in science. I know it’s not exact. Not much in life is.
Have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? – This question from the daily writing prompt really caught me off guard this morning.
Strangely enough, I just finished fighting off Covid again. So, yeah I guess I’m adapting. We get our vaccines each year. Just like our flu shot and other vaccines. I have nothing against vaccines and I’m all for them. I trust the science.
I had made it through the entire fall and winter seasons without getting sick and the day before spring, I get Covid. I’m not used to and haven’t adapted to how long it takes to fight this virus off.
Commentary – I think what is being done to our Health and Human Services, the CDC, NIH, and FDA is going to kill many of us. You just don’t know it yet but it will. Now if the fallout and deaths from this were just going to be the people that voted for Trump I wouldn’t be complaining, ignorance has a price. But innocent people are going to get caught up in this and die.
I’m worried that RFK Jr. is going to destroy vaccine programs and make Covid seem like a walk in the park compared to the next event. This administration doesn’t care about good science, they don’t care about you and I. They just care about enriching themselves and you had better wake up to that fact soon.
And here is a promise. If government negligence touches my family, you can be assured I’m going to reach out and touch someone.
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? – The Daily Writing prompt wants to know.
I was lucky and able to adapt fairly well. We get our vaccines and keep our ears open to outbreaks of RSV, Flu, COVID-19, or whatever else is going around.
Also, I was very fortunate to work from home during the outbreak and after. In some ways, this was a blessing because it helped me ease into retirement and separate myself from the attachment to the job.
I caught it a few times and hadn’t been that sick before so a new respect was gained.
I have a better appreciation for life. Now that I’m older I think and do things to stay healthier to fight off whatever I catch.
I worry more for loved ones and friends. Not like before when I would worry about the flu going around and them becoming sick for a few days. Now my worry is what is the virus that will kill many again before a grip on it can be gained.
I still can’t forgive those who villainized doctors and nurses during this time and denied known science.
It was very difficult for my better half who lost both her parents during this, and adapting to that isn’t possible. They didn’t pass from COVID-19 but from the stress of it, I believe. They were isolated during this time and couldn’t understand things. Her father became ill and we couldn’t see him in the hospital for weeks. It wasn’t till he had to go to hospice that one of his sons said he was coming to his home for his final few days.
It was worse for her mother when we couldn’t be with her at the end. Those things are not something you can change or adapt to. They are what they are, painful.
Get your Shots.
