"You don't want this. Please stay home."

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

A scary description of what it's like to be sick with COVID-10 and why it's so stupid to ignore stay-at-home orders and otherwise behave like a stupid git who believes Trump's bullshit.

Everyone wants to know when we can get “back to normal.” I’m no medical expert and I don’t pretend to know the answer. But I do know we’re not there yet. It’s hard to comprehend how so many are STILL arguing that this is all overblown or the product of media hype. I promise, this was worse than I could have imagined. No hype there.

That’s why it’s beyond infuriating to see people living their lives like nothing is wrong. Ignoring orders to stay home. No masks. Gathering in groups. You might feel fine. You also might be carrying this deadly virus without a clue you need a test, potentially threatening the lives of everyone around you at a time when doctors are forced to answer basic questions with “we just don’t know for sure yet.”

I fully understand the economic implications here. I’m a freelance TV producer in the sports business. I have no idea when I’ll get called to work again. And I’m fine with that for now. I’m actually somewhat sure I worked 5 days with no idea this highly contagious monster was already in my system. I don’t know how I would have lived with myself if a colleague got sick and didn’t make it. Fortunately, I won’t have to find out. Do you really want to roll those dice?

1. It ain't the flu

if you are one of the unlucky TWENTY percent that become ill, listen to people that get it... it's a long slog and it literally kicks your ass.

If you are one of the FIVE percent of people that become very ill, IF you survive you will likely have permanent lung damage. The next illness you get could easily kill you. Walking uphill or up the stairs could be difficult... you might even need one of those tanks of oxygen to carry around with you the rest of your life.

If you are one of the TWO percent (or more) that go on ventilators... try to have a will already written and tell your loved ones that you love them.

3. Plus long term organ damage for survivors. You don't want your organs trumped. . . . nt
