Many people appear willing to risk their lives for haircuts, shopping trips and dining out — even as #COVID-19 rages. Politicians and businesses couldn't be happier.
But, Rona is still killing black people disproportionately, so I’ve just got to ask. Why do you think you can survive the Coronavirus? It has already killed infants, people who have no underlying conditions, athletes, pregnant mothers, grandparents, certified nursing assistants, warehouse workers and office employees.Â
It has made believers out of skeptics.
We are all bored with our own cooking. Tired of the walls. Tired of virtual meetings. Tired from napping and tired of napping. And as stressful as COVID-19 has been, a nice meal out or some retail therapy would be great right now. Especially since retail stores will reopen today. We’re all ready to go out.
But keep this in mind when you’re being pressured to venture out — according to the latest patient data, there are 407 ICU beds and 713 ventilators available in the state. I’m not going to risk either for a meal, a haircut or a retail therapy purchase.
