I’m not at all surprised that covid variant is breaking news right now. Even if we don’t get much of a chance to really process it, it is affecting the world in a profound way.
It is probably good to know that Covid Variant has reached every country, city, and small village in the world. I like to think that it will take a little time to get used to the idea of being in a very different, very closed space. At this point, I think it will be a little bit more uncomfortable than it was for me when I first started practicing quarantine. Maybe it will be easier to maintain my mask-free lifestyle.
In the meantime, I’m trying to keep my quarantine mask up. As it turns out, in some places it’s actually a violation of the law to keep a mask on you during quarantine. It’s not really necessary, but some people are still doing it.
Im having a few days off, and I really want to get back to work.
I’m sure the new mask-free quarantine is a big deal for many of you, but I’m not sure I’m the only one who is having a hard time relaxing. It’s not just the mask that is in trouble, but the quarantine itself. I saw a video by a lady who was in quarantine who basically said that the mask kept her from getting her usual headaches, but they were getting worse.
The thing about masks, is that they are almost always seen by those who must wear them and by those who do not. The mask is the thing that has to be on before you can go to work, for example. The mask is the thing that makes you able to go to church, or even use the restroom at a gas station, so it is a big deal to those who must wear them.
I have to add that the mask is also the thing that makes you immune to viral diseases. The “viral” (which by the way, is a misnomer, right?) disease that causes people to have a fever, not necessarily a cough, is called a “fever virus.” This is the disease that is most highly associated with the coronavirus. The virus itself is generally very mild, and the virus spread much less frequently than the common cold.
In case you didn’t know, the coronavirus has a pretty high mutation rate, so it is possible for it to mutate into a deadly new disease. With that in mind, the CDC is recommending that people wear masks. Which doesn’t mean that everyone should, it just means that the mask is a reminder.
To be clear, the coronavirus is not a virus. It is a disease. So people should wear masks to protect themselves against the disease. But for the sake of everyone else, it is recommended that people wear masks as a public safety precaution.
The first thing the virus does, it infects the brain, which means that it can potentially become a deadly disease if not treated properly. Though I can’t prove it, I would be very surprised if it didn’t have such a high mutation rate. However, the mutation is extremely important.
