You think you’re safe. You’re relatively young and overall healthy. This Covid-19 “hoax” is nothing to worry about.

Scare tactics.

Fear mongering.

The Government is trying to keep you secluded because — what exactly? They want the entire economy to collapse?

Maybe it’s no biggie, but maybe it is. Trouble is, you won’t know until it hits. And your experience will probably be wildly different from someone else’s.

I’m finally starting to approach normal again, after more than three months.

In early March I caught a cold

I was really angry about it because I had already started secluding myself in an effort to avoid the Novel Coronavirus. Being immunocompromised, a minor cold that takes most people a couple of days to kick will often land me in bed and unable to function for an average of probably three to four weeks.

Groceries were pre-ordered and picked up curbside. Everything else became online only. No visitors and no excursions.
