How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

So this may be an unpopular take by the masses, but I never changed or adapted. I worked and took care of my mom and stayed with her in facilities from March til Mid May 2020.

I did not have the privilege to stay home. She was dying of brain cancer and I  brought her up here Feb 1st to DC to live her time out with me, hoping and praying Hopkins could prolong it. I stayed at Sibley in DC with her, her last 2 wks before Hospice. At the time, it was scary but I could not leave my mom alone. DC was a hotspot, but unlike the sensationalist reporting of media, the hospital was not overflowing, neither was the Hopkins home base in Bmore.

Docs would come straight from the “Corona” floor and sit right next to me in scrubs and a simple mask. And my mom had glioblastoma and other conditions and got tested 4 times within 2 hospitals a rehab and Hospice and never got “it”. I don’t deny it didn’t kill people, especially elderly. But even New York Times reported that the numbers of deaths were overreported by 30 percent, and being that they want to protect themselves since they were part of the fear campaign, it is prob more like 50 percent overreported by C D C.

Hospitals and mask companies and clinics made shxt tons of money off of this and it makes me sick. And there were some labs that were caught lying by saying that 100 percent of the tests that came in were positive!

And yes, we had a loss in our family from the virus. My dear Ds grandmother was one of the beautiful souls who passed away quickly in a nursing home in NY when Cuomo thought it was smart to put virus ridden elderly in with well ones like Ds grandmother. It was awful. She was well, just unable to fully care for herself and needed supervision because she was late 90s. She had been in the nursing home a week and that is when they brought the sick patients in and then she was gone in a week, dying alone. 

I did not change my life or the way I did things. Because the way “they” wanted “us” to adapt while they were having yacht parties in Martha’s Vineyard and traveling, did not sit well with me. I did lose my mom at a time where people were frightened to come to her memorial. And Ds grandma was taken by stupid decisions by people who did not care. That was acceptable, but walking into a restaurant without a mask was not, but then you could take it off to eat. Lack of science and common sense all the way around. Why would I adapt to stupidity?

“It” kept my child locked out of school 18 mos of high school up north while kids all over the country got to perform and go to prom and homecoming. That time will never be replaced and kids who graduated in 2021-2023 are severely affected socially by it. It is impossible to forget all of these silly things done in the name of politics. To vilanize or demonize smart people who could read between the lines. This why I didn’t adapt. I failed the litmus test.

In summation, I have not adapted. I do not trust agencies and entities that I did before. I do not trust our leaders. And for the first time ever, I really had the desire to leave this country. 2020 was a year of division, bad decisions and people who felt they were morally superior to others by following the beat corrupt drums of the orders set by fools.

Being blinded and not using my brain and intuition is what was supposed to be the end result, but ignorant bliss is something I will never adapt to. Ever. And my lack of belief/faith in any political party or politician based on their power hungry and asinine actions has made me this way.

Sorry for the soapbox. A long time coming and probably not exactly on topic. But it had to be said.
