Getting Covid in 2021
(The year of skepticism and blame - but still active concern for friends and loved ones)
“Oh no!” “How bad is it?” “Have you been wearing your mask?” “Where have you been to maybe get it?” “How do you think you got it?” “Are you vaxxed?” “It’s crazy, isn’t it?” “I had it last month. It’s like the flu.” “Thoughts and prayers” “Give us a holler if you need anything.” “Take care.”; Getting Covid in 2020
(The year of fear and genuine concern for friends and loved ones.)
“Omg, are you ok?” “How are you? Are you breathing ok?” “What can I do for you?” “Please be ok. I can’t lose you.” “Who did you get it from?” “What are your symptoms?” “Love you.”; Getting Covid in 2022
(The year of complacency and Covid-numbness)
“You finally got it, huh?” “Yeah, it’s not that bad. I had it.” “I know people that have had it twice.” “It’s like a bad cold, that’s it.” “At least you’ll have the antibodies now.” “Ok, see you after your quarantine.”
