Pandemic Producing Problems

I am thinking most people are pretty good at taking this pandemic seriously however I have seen some, not so much. I also think that this pandemic is teaching us the old ways of being a family, doing things together as a family. The needing of one another as a family. Although, I know only, some of this is true.

Not everyone in this City where I live, gets it. I had to go out yesterday and get some supplies, standing in a line up of 20 people to cash out, the lady behind me was coughing so hard her face was turning red and didn't look well, she was coughing into her hand then touching the grocery cart handle. I turned and said, should you not be at home or wearing a mask? She told me I don't have a cold and mind your own business. I said back to her, it is my business when your coughing behind me only 3 feet away from me, when there's a pandemic. I'm not sick she said. What people do not understand is, you may be a carrier of Covid-19 and pass it on when coughing. She said she had COPD. Ok fine but coughing from COPD can spread the virus if your a carrier. She should have been wearing a mask. Anyway I just pray people are learning from this whole pandemic thing. It seems here in Canada things are slowly opening up. Respect others when your out there if your coughing because of something other than Covid-19 and you have to go out where a mask. Please.

I have been stuck in my home for the past 2 months since this whole thing started. Yesterday was the first time in 2 weeks, just to be standing in front of someone coughing so bad she was turning red. I guess the smart thing to do for me is be the one wearing the mask ????.

To get back to the Family situation. I believe this is great seeing families doing things together, home schooling together, being a family. Maybe this will be a continued trend when life gets back to normal.

Be blessed and stay safe out there.

I feel the same. I was in Red Dot yesterday and in the line to the cashier. A young Mum and her toodler wer near me. She was on the phone talking saying "yeh he has a high fever and cough some he is with me" I turned and looked at this poor snotty nosed liitle toddler struggling to get a breath". I turned and said. "please take him home he is not well, let alone passing it on to us". I am a Carer at home an if I get sick so do my family.

Well did I get a rude response. Mind my own business etc, etc with swear words in between.

Its crazy. To me it just common sense.

Thanks Jen

Hi. Well done to speak p and more ;people should have said something, but you can only do so much. If the woman becomes ill then it's on her. Bless you

Awful. & good for you for speaking up. Absolutely unbelievable that she was without a mask. There are some places it is still not obligatory. Here in Chile you can be fined if you are in a public place without a mask. This simple picture makes it very clear how they help:


Keep safe and have a better day.


I find it to be very difficult that some people don't understand what is going on out there. It is something that has never been seen before. If you have it or don't know you have it you're a danger to everybody you com in contact with. If they have or don't know they have it and are not masked at minimum you had better be masked and at least 6' away. If you are at home and go out only when you absolutely have do with the appropriate attire you should be safe. More people have been lost during the pandemic than the Vietnam war. That big rectangular block in D.C. that would take a day to read all the names. Many Many of the young people riot about that war and today many go to the beach. I know they are not stupid, but would like to know what their rationale is?

Excellent Post Firefli. Best to you.

Hello Edward! In regards to your question about our rationale to go to the beach. I live in a beach vacation destination part of Florida, and as a local, the beach is very important to us. For some, it is very therapeutic and medicinal. We have all had respect towards others while enjoying our time at the beach, by practicing safe distancing and spacing. The beach is a far less likely place to pick-up Covid, over going to the grocery store for supplies.

I sympathize with you but that is not a good comparison because you can not live without food.Also there are a lot of people staying at home so that one day we will all be able to go to the beach. Many of those people are suffering the issues that you have stated and still do it. Unfortunately I completely disagree with what you are doing. How many people in Florida have been tested? I hope you are not doing this without being tested. There are many people going around that don't display the signs that they have it.Until everybody gets tested we are playing Russian roulette and this will continue on for a long time.

God bless you, and may you stay in good health. :)

Edward, I'm old so I suppose I shouldn't answer, but I was young once and, I thought I was invincible. Young people are not stupid and unfeeling. They just can't see what they are doing will hurt somebody else. they figure they are healthy and so they won't catch anything -or if they do, it will pass in a few days.
It's all about living in the moment- and not sacrificing their pleasure. Life experiences are all ahead of them.

Thank you I understand and I used to be young once. The number of people dying just angers me because it does not need to happen.

Yup, wear a mask. I saw the exact same thing yesterday. 70 something lady, no mask, hacking her brains out, smoking a cigarette and telling me she had COPD. I just shook my head, glad for my mask, and walked away as quickly as I could.

Stay safe
Greg

Thank you Frank for that vote of confidence. I don't like being harsh, but sometimes things have to be said, you wish you didn't have to say.
