#19 – Immunity

I’m going stir crazy in my house. COVID-19 is seriously the worst. I’m not upset because I’m stuck in my house or because I can’t physically go to class (which I never thought I’d be upset about), it’s more that I feel this sense of doom. For one, I know how incredibly privileged I am to be able to be homed in a warm house with my loving mom and sister and our adorable dogs. I know that a lot of people have to worry about finding shelter or finding their next meals while avoiding this illness. There’s this looming sense of doom that comes every time my mom comes home from work. Yesterday, she said one of her coworkers contracted it and is in isolation. She’s worried about giving it to me because of my compromised immune system. Since I was a kid if someone got a cold, I would get the flu. I would always get what was flying around, but multiplied by 50. I have a very poor immune system and a terrible respiratory system. Hopefully, we come out of this with a new mindset and clean hands (permanently).
