I know the fatigue is real and that some people gave up, but that doesn't mean we should stop keeping others safe. I went on a car stroll with my dad today and there were so many people on the sidewalks as if everything was back to normal. The daily cases are still over a thousand and I can't help but feel concerned. The governments and politicians aren't doing anything better as they always take measures that are half-baked and confusing to some people, especially if they haven't caught up on the news lately. Because of the incompetence and not using the funds to help people and businesses throughout the pandemic, lockdowns are still dragging on here. Apparently, we are in a 'third wave' right now.
ALSO, we had to put up with a protest that made us stuck in traffic. And you know what the protest was about? Being against masks. Seriously, haven't they ever thought that the purpose was to keep others safe and not catch the virus? There are people who are literally dying from the virus, but their selfish selves can't seem to see that. They can also turn violent, especially against Asians and other backgrounds. Racism and hatred are pretty strong with those people, unfortunately. Thank goodness they didn't see me or my family or we would've been in danger. To make it even more insulting, a family doctor for my family relatives in The Philippines just caught the virus. Yeah, they may not be related, but it's just a punch in the gut, especially since they have a very nice personality and stayed in touch with my relatives for a really long time. I pray for their speedy recovery. Some people man. Their closed minds are literally costing lives. I just can't...
