Right now there are many people out there that are not even seeing their friends and family and loved ones because of social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, there are still so many people out there that aren't following the rules and putting so many people in danger. This includes people bringing their families to grocery stores. Some people are still gathering in large groups people are not listening to the advice that is going to make this virus go away. In Chicago, they were having parties despite the stay at home order.
This is what is going to happen if people refuse to comply with the rules
We are going to be stuck inside much longer, many of us have things we want to do, people got to get back to work and kids have to get back to school.
Your family who is part of the high-risk category could very much end up in the hospital themselves. Some of them might not even come back from this.
People working on the front lines will go even longer without seeing their families because they don't want to risk them getting infected.
We won't be able to have weddings, funerals, birthdays, or more celebrations because we will be too busy staying inside.
Small businesses will crumble because they haven't been closed and not every small business can operate online in an emergency.
Many seniors in retirement homes will not get to see their families because of social distancing, and it will end up impacting them in such a horrible way. If my grandpa was alive today he probably would have just died from loneliness because he thrived on people visiting him.
Before you bring your whole family to the store before you decide to have a cookout and invite your neighbors before you decide to see your immunocompromised relatives think about all the consequences that are going to come with it.
Realize that when this is all over, that you will still be able to go all this stuff that you want to do, but right now you can't. I know it can be hard to be couped up trust me it's hard on me too. Especially if the weather gets really nice.
But if we just stay home and stay six feet apart from each other then we can flatten the curve, develop some kind of immunity and then get on with our lives.
Flatten the curve and stay home. Because we don't want to be in here longer than we have to be.
