As has been made clear from the name of the chapter, this is not an update.
This is me expressing my concerns about certain highly foolish activities.

Basically I mean humans and their smart decisions regarding covid =D
Note the sarcasm.

I don't know what news people have been reading/seeing/listening to but it certainly isn't the one I'm watching if they think that it's okay to saunter out of their houses without masks. Covid is not a joke.
I repeat,
Covid is not a joke.

There are thousands of people who are dying every single day and I still find people not taking the threat of the pandemic seriously.

What part of the disease doesn't match your expectations about how a worldwide killing disease should be? YES if you test positive, you have cold and cough and fever and while it sounds absolutely harmless, IT iS NOT.

As copy pasted from Google-

"COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus, starts with droplets from an infected person’s cough, sneeze, or breath. They could be in the air or on a surface that you touch before touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. That gives the virus a passage to the mucous membranes in your throat. Within 2 to 14 days, your immune system may respond with symptoms including:

Fever
A cough
Shortness of breath or trouble breathing
Fatigue
Chills, sometimes with shaking
Body aches
Headache
A sore throat
Congestion or a runny nose
Loss of taste
Loss of smell
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea

The virus moves down your respiratory tract. That’s the airway that includes your mouth, nose, throat, and lungs. Your lower airways have more ACE2 receptors than the rest of your respiratory tract. So COVID-19 is more likely to go deeper than viruses like the common cold.

Your lungs might become inflamed, making it tough for you to breathe. This can lead to pneumonia, an infection of the tiny air sacs (called alveoli) inside your lungs where your blood exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide.

If your doctor does a CT scan of your chest, they’ll probably see shadows or patchy areas called “ground-glass opacity.”

For most people, the symptoms end with a cough and a fever. More than 8 in 10 cases are mild. But for some, the infection gets more severe. About 5 to 8 days after symptoms begin, they have shortness of breath (known as dyspnea). Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) begins a few days later.

ARDS can cause rapid breathing, a fast heart rate, dizziness, and sweating. It damages the tissues and blood vessels in your alveoli, causing debris to collect inside them. This makes it harder or even impossible for you to breathe.

Many people who get ARDS need help breathing from a machine called a ventilator.

As fluid collects in your lungs, they carry less oxygen to your blood. That means your blood may not supply your organs with enough oxygen to survive. This can cause your kidneys, lungs, and liver to shut down and stop working.

Not everyone who has COVID-19 has these serious complications. And not everyone needs medical care. But if your symptoms include trouble breathing, get help right away."

This article was not meant to scare you, but to make you aware that covid is much much more than a nasty cold.

That is why people are dying.

What will it take for people to understand that lives are on line here?
Is it that absolutely impossible for you to wear a mask when you leave the house and keep the mask in such a way that it completely covers your nose and mouth instead of hanging limply down your chin?

Let me tell you in bold and in italics.
A MASK IS NOT A FASHION STATEMENT.

Repeating,
A mask is NOT a fashion statement. It's not a bloody accessory! The mask is supposed to cover your nose and mouth and not be draped across your chin. Most people put it on as a formality. They leave the house with masks and the moment they're out, the take it off.

What is wrong with you? Do you not understand the severity of the situation? Grown people and so many of them at that, walk without masks.

I may come of as rude and disrespectful but it has to be said. I don't fricking care how many years older you are, but if you walk without a mask, your intellect is lesser than a first grade student and your brain has gone on a holiday to Hawaii.

If children can walk with masks and not take it off, why can't you?
If they can go home after interacting with people and take a bath, why can't you?

Everybody reading this is a fan of bts and other k-pop idols.
Those same celebrities wore masks even before the pandemic. If they can do that, why can't you?

Why can't you wash your hands properly? Why can't you understand that if you are infected, the correct and the moral thing to do would be stay at home and self quarantine yourself? Is it really necessary to pretend that all is fine?

Other people are put at risk every single day just because you don't have the sense to do what is right and what is expected of any human with a basic understanding of what is happening.

I'm not accusing anybody here.

I'm only making a point that some people are fricking foolish.

If anyone here doesn't wear a mask, or wears it in a way which is absolutely useless, now is the time you understand that what you're doing is WRONG.
You are putting everyone at risk, including yourself and your families.

It's never too late to change and do the right thing.
Be smart.
