I woke up and my throat had something going on and I knew for sure I was dying. I went to the bathroom and had a glass of water and then I was fine. But I’m sure I’m not the only one. Everyone thinks they’ve got the virus if coffee goes down the wrong pipe and they have to cough. Or everyone else thinks the other guy is dying when he sneezes but he really has allergies. Or if you have one loose stool, well…Nice knowin’ ya.
But the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has covid. He swears it’s not serious, but that’s what all the famous people say. Until it kills them. I guess that separates out the liars, doesn’t it? Or maybe all the famous people are just trying to keep everyone from freaking out. Not working, dude. Not working.
I see cops on the road but I rarely hear sirens these days. They flash their crazy bright lights but no sirens. I hear it’s a policy in New York and Italy and all the other places that have zero traffic and hearing sirens all day just reminds everyone that everyone is just about dead. People don’t need to be any more freaked out.
But I don’t know if it’s possible to be even more freaked out. But maybe it is. I don’t know. I don’t let myself think about people I know dying. People I know not having a ventilator available. People I know without PPE…
Right now it seems like a problem so far away. Not In My Backyard. I’m just tucked away in my bed eating sweet red peppers with cream cheese and this will never affect me.
Louisiana’s death toll rose 40% in one day. And New York turned it’s convention center into a hospital. And no one can go to funerals, so are they even burying anyone? Even trying?
And I make some more snacks and if I hope if I wish hard enough, maybe it won’t come here.
This is When Non-Believers Pray…
