I spent FOUR DAYS in an E.R bed because there were NO beds open anywhere in the hospital proper. I get discharged after a week of being dangerously dehydrated despite the constant heavy duty electrolytes being pumped into my veins round the clock and in the third worst pain of my life, only to watch on the news at home a report about the days-long wait times in hospitals and hear that the reporters have the audacity to wonder why hospitals are overcrowded again

It's covid. Stop being wilful idiots

#covid 19 #i am so lucky got an e.r bed after only five hours #I've been in the e.r lobby for EIGHTEEN HOURS before giving up and going home in the past #glad they realized how bad off i was this time #it was/still is norovirus #I'm immunocompromised so it was genuinely on the verge of being life threatening #and a week after discharge I'm still very very sick with it i can just tolerate food and oral fluids now. couldn't before #were my immune system functional it would have been a three day miserable inconvenience at most #but I'm not and because some jackass handling my takeout didn't wash their hands I'm suffering for weeks #and i don't know when I'll actually be over it #anyway the governments' responses to covid turned people into idiots who take basic hygeine into a political stance #btw at this point if you're not masking you're actively a eugenicist whether you'll cop to that or not #i don't care if you call yourself a leftist either you're just as bad as the trumpers if you're an anti-masker #I'm tired of coddling your feelings if you're putting disabled lives in a lethal situation #sorry i don't make the rules
