Sorry, I'm not a good example

I'm **not** a **good example**. You know why? Last **April 30**, we go to **swimming**.

It is one of the **fastest ways** to be **infected** by **Covid**. Even though **Corona Virus** is continuously **increasing**, we're not thinking of **helping** it to **decrease**. We're just **thinking of ourselves**. How to **enjoy**, how to create **happy memories outside**. **March 2020** it all started. It was declared as a **global pandemic**, where a lot of people were already **infected**. At first, we've got **afraid** to be contaminated by this said **outbreak**. Our **President** declared a **lockdown**, where every **municipality** cannot access the other. They also **announced** that we should wear **masks** all the time, **wash** hands properly, avoid **going outside**, wear a **face shield**, and always **disinfect**. This was **strictly** followed by people as we are all worried to be infected. We also pursued staying in the house even though we're not used to it. My Mom bought a lot of stuff for our **food supplies**, and a lot of people also **panicked** and almost bought all of the food at the groceries. This time, I can say we did a **good job**. 👏🏽 We almost **stayed** at the house the whole time without thinking of traveling. But now is different. Pandemic is still there. In our municipality, we have **69 confirmed cases** where **59** already **recovered** and **4** of them already **died**. This **April** was the **latest** declaration of the said cases. We saw a house that is **locked down** because the patient was there. We're **not allowed to pass** or enter that territory as we can be also **quarantined**. Seeing this awaken me that **Covid is not a joke**. But still, it's my Mom and Dad's **anniversary**. They planned an **outing** and scheduled **overnight swimming**. At first, I said to my husband that we should **not go** as Covid positive patients are **boosting** and we can be infected. We're **firm** to that decision. As I said that to my family, they **encouraged** us to go with them. They are so **confident** that we cannot be infected. They said we have a **private cottage**, that we can swim to one area where there is no crowd, etc. That made me decide that yeah, maybe **we should go**. And that what happens. We go to Punta Almara without thinking of the pandemic. From what I observed there, people are **not doing social distancing**, **no masks**, **talking face to face**, and enjoying the sea.

That made me realized how people view situations now. They **don't have fear** of coronavirus disease. They came **back to a normal** life where people travel from here to there, be with each other if you miss them, and having a group gathering. But still, I enjoyed that day... I just got a kick out of that moment, without thinking how the world became so worst because of the Covid-19. After that enjoyable day, we attended a **meeting**. And there's an **announcement** regarding the **pandemic**. It said that we should be a **good example** if we're doing a **personal decision**. Example gatherings, swimming and traveling. It also stated that we all miss our relatives and friends. But **showing love** to them during this pandemic will lead us to not seeing them but limiting ourselves to be with them. A lot of family members died because of not following protocols. So it depends on us if we will follow the policies. But for me, being a **good example** is a must. That **announcement** made me so **guilty**. I realized how I became a **bad example** to everyone. I even posted pictures on **social media**. 🤦🏽‍♀️ **Authorities** don't lack **reminders** regarding the protocols. Every time... they announced and remind us what we should do. But still, we're not following. I'm so guilty until now. I also realized how I didn't consider **doctors** and **nurses** in the **hospitals**. They face different cases every day and it still increasing. They are always **afraid of the virus** but still, they need to face it. They can be infected all the time as they are too **exposed** to the said virus. And sadly, a lot of **healthcare workers** **died** because of the COVID-19. 😭 That made me admit that I am so **selfish**. And imagine this... Some people still think that COVID-19 **doesn't exist**. Visualize that **one doctor** got **tired** of walking out of an ICU where COVID-19 has **killed** another patient and when he walked into a grocery store he hears people saying it **doesn't exist**. That was so **heartbreaking**. Also, I read some posts even on noise.cash that **doctors juking the hospitalization numbers to get more money**. Even though I don't know the reality, but in general I know doctors still doing their best just to lessen the spread of the virus. So let's just **respect** them, **thank them** for their undying sacrifices, and make them feel that we **appreciate** their efforts and bravery. So now, what is my **conclusion**? **DON'T GO OUT** if you're not doing stuff that could affect your living. Stay in the house. Avoid spreading the virus. And **BE A GOOD EXAMPLE**. ❤ Thanks for reading. 🌸 `PS. Thanks to` @TruSuccessXpert `for renewing the sponsorship. 🖤`
