I live in the middle of the United States. There are currently in my state 585k cases of the COVID-19 virus, 0 recovered, and 7k + deaths. This isn't even the total throughout this while pandemic. Just in December alone.
This virus is getting scary and even taking extra precautions; wearing masks correctly, sanitizing everything everyday, and taking temperatures, are not doing anything to stop it from now reaching my work.
Everyday there is an new case and nobody has recovered fully from this virus yet, nor has came back. I have a young daughter at home that has only ever known being in quarentine lockdown. No outside. No playing at a park with other kids. Not even been to a store before. All because of this virus. It is sad that this may never get better and the new generation of kids will only ever know this life.
My state is getting worse and I don't know what to do anymore. My work is getting worse too and I can't just stop working, but I am getting more afraid to come home to my husband and daughter because of the risk I'm taking even being out in the field. My father has had a coworker recently that both his wife and him have died in a coma from corona, leaving behind their 4 kids. This is serious. This is REAL. And anyone not thinking it is, I hope they get a reality check soon.
This world is scary beyond belief. Please be careful and I pray that anyone being effected with this virus may make a full recovery. <3
Hope is still there, just for how long?
