#thank you coronavirus helpers

[greenenoughgrass]

I don't know which Internet abyss to vent to so tumblr it is. Long post ahead.

Started and ended the year 2022 with COVID-19 because people can't be bothered to wear masks in order to better protect themselves and their fellow humans.

I finally felt ready to take on a gig at a church after three years and that's likely where I got it. Should I have trusted that I would be safe? My roomie and I both wear two masks anywhere we go, but the other able-bodied maskers among us have trickled out. It's like they don't care anymore.

What's worse? On Wednesday, I was feeling like complete garbo and decided to test at home-- got a negative result. Great, because the next day was one of my loved one's birthdays and we were gonna have a drinking and board games night. I didn't wanna miss giving her gifts and laughing uproariously and smoking dabs with our D&D group and a few others.

Turns out, my test was a false negative. I likely did have COVID and I attended that gathering. Got five of my closest people sick. And this variant sucks. Feels like a nasty flu/cough/allergies. Body aching in waves. Difficulty thermoregulating. Can't eat more than a few bites of food per day. Constant nausea and pounding headache. This is a very different coronavirus than the one I had at the beginning of the year.

The only reason this fucking situation has gone on so long is because people have made the ignorant assumption that the pandemic is over. This is unbelievably harmful. Not to able-bodied people like me, but to those I've been working hard to protect. Thankfully, to my knowledge thus far, I have not infected any of my immunocompromised loved ones.

The general populace's compassion fatigue and lack of empathy are deeply disturbing to me. It is not hard to be aware of the current circumstances. We can't just ignore a pandemic. A potent virus haunts us and most people can't be inconvenienced to put a cloth over their pie hole while they're at the supermarket.

Boohoo, I had to back out of my fun solstice camping plans and I haven't seen my boyfriend in a week. These are comparatively very minor concerns. But it seems no matter where I turn, there is no way to rectify this, there is no answer, no way to make it right. There is nobody who is "at fault." It's yet another graceful blunder for c*pitalism.

At this point, I just want the people I care about and me to be healthy, but this is becoming increasingly hard to do even with proper precautions. I feel like my whole life has just been a marginalization marathon. I keep going and nothing gets better. Hope gets more distant. Finding a reprieve becomes less imaginable. I'm always well provided for by my community, but when do any of us get a break from survival mode and helper mode?

Please, I implore you. Wear a mask. Be safe. Be considerate. I'm gonna cry now about being hungry and sad and guilty and angry and lonely. Thank you for reading.

PM Modi Speech Highlights: 3 मई तक जारी रहेगा लॉकडाउन, जानें पीएम मोदी के संबोधन की खास बातें

पीएम नरेंद्र मोदी

PM Modi Speech Highlights : पीएम मोदी ने कहा यह ऐसा संकट है कि इसकी तुलना किसी देश से नहीं की जा सकती है. उन्होंने कहा कि दुनिया के बड़े बड़े देशों को देखें तो भारत काफी अच्छी स्थिति में है.

नई दिल्ली. प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने देश को संबोधित करते हुए देश का सबसे पहले आभार व्यक्त किया. उन्होंने कहा कि मैं भारत की जनता का नमन करता हूं जिसने संकट की इस घड़ी में देश को पहले रखा और अपना दर्द भूल ग��. पीएम मोदी ने इस दौरान बाबा साहब अंबेडकर को भी याद किया और कहा आज देश के लोगों ने उन्हें सच्ची श्रद्धांजलि दी है.

उन्होंने कहा कि ये त्योहारों का समय है. उन्होंने कहा कि अन्य देशों की तुरंत में भारत ने पहले ही कोरोना रोकने का अभियान तेज कर दिया था. उन्होंने कहा कि पहले ही भारत के एयरपोर्ट में स्क्रीनिंग शुरू कर दी थी. उन्होंने कहा कि जब हमारे यहां 550 केस थे तभी हमने 21 दिन के लॉकडाउन की घोषणा कर दी थी. हमने समस्या बढ़ने का इंतजार नहीं किया और उसी समय फैसले लेकर इसे रोकने का प्रयास किया.

पीएम मोदी ने कहा यह ऐसा संकट है कि इसकी तुलना किसी देश से नहीं की जा सकती है. उन्होंने कहा कि दुनिया के बड़े बड़े देशों को देखें तो भारत काफी अच्छी स्थिति में है. उन्होंने कहा कि कुछ दिन पहले तक कुछ देशों में कोरोना मरीज उतने ही थे जितने भारत में थे लेकिन वहां आंकड़ें बढ़ें लेकिन भारत में ऐसा नहीं हुआ.

उन्होंने कहा कि भारत ने समय पर फैसले लिए जिसके कारण कोरोना का संक्रमण ज्यादा नहीं बढ़ा. पीएम मोदी ने एक बार फिर सोशल डिस्टेंसिंग और लॉकडाउन का नाम लेते हुए कहा कि इससे निसंदेह भारत को नुकसान हुआ है लेकिन देशवासियों की जिंदगी के ���गे ये नुकसान कुछ नहीं है.उन्होंने कहा कि राज्यों का भी आभार व्यक्त करते हुए कहा कि राज्यों ने भी पूरा सहयोग दिया है और हालात को संभालने में बड़ी भूमिका निभाई है. पीएम मोदी ने कोरोना वायरस पर चिंता व्यक्त करते हुए कहा कि कोरोना ने चिकित्सकों को भी हैरान कर दिया है. सरकार भी परेशान हो गई हैं. उन्होंने कहा कि हमने सभी राज्यों से इस संबंध में बात की है तो लोग कहते हैं कि लॉकडाउन को बढ़ाया जाए. पीएम मोदी ने कहा, सभी सुझावों को ध्यान में रखने हुए 3 मई तक लॉकडाउन बढ़ाया जा रहा है.

पीएम मोदी ने कहा इस दौरान हमें लॉकडाउन का उसी तरह से पालन करना होगा जैसा वो अभी तक करते आए हैं. पीएम मोदी ने कहा अब हमें कोरोना को नए सेक्टर फैलने नहीं देना है. उन्होंने कहा अगर एक भी मरीज बढ़ता है तो इससे हमारी चिंता बढ़ेगी. उन्होंने कहा कि हमें और भी ज्यादा सतर्कता रखनी होगी और हॉटस्पॉट पर विशेष नजर रखनी होगी.

उन्होंने कहा नए हॉटस्पॉट बनने से रोकना है. उन्होंने कहा कि अगले एक हफ्ते में लॉकडाउन और सख्त किया जाएगा. पीएम मोदी ने कहा कि अब हर क्षेत्र का मूल्यांकन किया जाएगा.उन्होंने कहा कि 20 अप्रैल तक जिन इलाकों में संक्रमण के मरीज न के बराबर होंगे वहां पर कुछ छूट दी जाएगी. उन्होंने कहा कि घर से बाहर निकलने के लिए कुछ शर्तों के साथ लॉकडाउन में छूट दी जा सकती है लेकिन अगर कोई गड़बड़ी हुई तो उसे तुरंत वापस ले लिया जाएगा.

उन्होंने कहा कि कल से कुछ क्षेत्रों में छूट दी जाएगी. प्रधानमंत्री गरीब कल्याण योजना के माध्यम से हमने उनके हितों का ध्यान रखा है. पीएम मोदी ने कहा कि इस समय रवि फसर काटने का काम चल रहा है. हमारी कोशिश है कि किसानों को कोई दिक्कत न हो.

Being A Social Worker In Covid 19 Times

I’m in quarantine since last Friday. I'm okay so far, I haven't been tested yet but it seems like I'm positive. My colleagues have to keep working and I feel extremely useless. (Also in Germany I get paid without any consequences, so my livelihood is secured)

The nurses, doctors, postmen, cashiers (...) do a fantastic job and I thank them so much for it, but let us not forget that our profession is also one in which we:

a. will most likely be infected and b. suddenly it becomes quite clear that it is not just a job.

We are one of those people who still have to get out and go to work in these current ghost towns, who rely on public transport and who are not allowed to flinch when a client coughs. We are the ones that other people rely on, even now. We are system-relevant and that can be very scary. At times when most of us would probably prefer to hide at home, we have to go out for others (and also get paid really badly for it). 

As a colleague who now has to sit at home and simply can do absolutely nothing, I say thank you. You are awesome. I usually talk a lot about self-care and that when in doubt it's about yourself. But that's just not possible at the moment. All that is possible is the thought that it will not last forever. Let's just take it, one day at a time. We can do this, if we stick together and help each other. It also means that everyone who can stay at home stays at home so that people like us can get as safely as possible to work.

Thank you <3

20 things I learned thanks to the Coronavirus

You can make homemade hand sanitizer.

You need at least 151 proof alcohol to do so.

Making hand sanitizer really isn’t worth it.

Wash your hands for minimum 20 seconds.

There is a correct way to wash your hands.

If you need to soak things to disinfect them 70% alcohol is best. (Aka 140 proof). It’s even better that 99% alcohol.

All of those things that businesses and schools claimed were undue hardships, really aren’t, and people with disabilities are pissed.

Minimum wage workers in businesses that are vital to our society’s structure really should be paid a living wage. (Grocery store employees are heros now, frankly.)

Who knew universal healthcare would be something you need during a pandemic to slow the rate of infection down?

Restaurant employees should have health insurance, and don’t.

Panic buying is something that exist outside the southern USA before a hurricane.

Millennials and Generation Z have seriously dark senses of humor.

People don’t care about emergencies unless it directly affects them.

Even in the darkest times, there are helpers.

Don’t just look for helpers, be one.

Parents are starting to learn that teachers should be paid more, because being a teacher isn’t easy.

What a disease vector is.

What community spread is.

Even introverts can get stir crazy sitting at home for 2 weeks straight.

The only winners in a pandemic are the pets.

CHAPTER TWELVE 2.0

I started the last two chapters, happy to have something of substance to talk about, me being at home, improvements I was seeing, maybe even some rightful disappointment at some people’s lack of care in their actions…but like clockwork the beginning of the week brought in new developments and my mind drifted focus. My fingers lost the spark to write about feel-good situations when the chaos in the world seemed to extinguish the flame.

I was in Texas just two weeks ago but it honestly feels like forever, as if time is confused on what pace its on. The USA seems to be confused as well.

Theme parks across the nation are opening up. Some flights are back to full capacity. The world seems caught on a pendulum of thought: “Are we good enough to pretend and pass like we can go back to normal?”

Meanwhile, people are still getting sick. People are still dying. Protests are still happening, although it apparently doesn’t serve the media to still be airing that. Justice has still not been served for those we’ve lost: Breonna Taylor, Vanessa Guillen, Elijah McClain, and so many more. The media and internet is ablaze with people ridiculing, attacking, or making fun of each other, on top of everything going on.

I wonder if I’m a part of that sometimes. While I still think protesting for “bar lives” is unfathomable and tone deaf, while it was so easy to ridicule because it was so insanely insensitive to compare to the BLM movement, did I help to further a narrative full of spite? Did I egg on anger and divisiveness, did I unintentionally help create arguments online? Did I give a platform that I don’t agree with more attention by calling attention to it?

I’m all for the hard but important conversations. I love them, to be honest. My family and I had many thought-provoking conversations when I was home, about what they’ve experienced with racism, about our opinions on all sides. It was wonderful to expand our ways of thinking using past and present! I think we all walked away with more rounded backing to our opinions, me included, and I’m thankful to have a family that can be so open and willing to discuss.

Yet, those conversations can’t be condensed into however many characters can fit in to a tweet. The art of negotiating is not all about winning, it’s also about empathizing. It’s about explaining and getting the opponent to understand your side and school of thinking; if you just tear them apart for their lack of understanding or different opinion, how can they ever fully understand or want to, especially if you are the one trying to teach them something not in their wheelhouse?

Racism, of course, is non-negotiable.

Everything else, and it’s a lot, that we have encountered in the last few weeks (mainly dealing with COVID) feels like it’s cumulatively driven us to a breaking point, to a point where I don’t really feel like I live in the “United” States of America. I feel like we are now all pitted against each other, immediate to defend our point, and jumping to 10 because honestly we are tired of the bullshit.

I get it. I do. But in the last few days while I’ve watched coronavirus cases develop, “Karens” making a fool of themselves in public places and endangering people’s lives with their sense of entitlement, while watching Hamilton for the first time and seeing good and bad critiques, Kanye running for president, while I’ve cried over Vanessa and what happened to her only to have someone try to belittle my reaction compared to others we’ve lost, I realized something.

Chaos. All chaos.

How can we make real change when we are all just screaming? How can we move mountains when we are pushing from two opposing sides? And while we have made progress, will we have the sensibility to keep with it or will our boiling frustrations overrule and distract us from our end goal, lasting and transformative change for the betterment of BIPOCs and everyone?

I’m not hating on our progress. And I’m not vilifying people’s reactions to things not in your school of thought, albeit insanely frustrating things. I’ve been there and am there. The amount of Facebook posts I’ve written novels for, the shock I feel on a daily basis for some people, is all still there. Yet, my sadness for this world and how to heal it has crept in and bated me.

What can “I” do to make a difference?

Hating and bashing things is our new normal, our humor has become intertwined with it so much that we ridicule and make jokes out of everything. Click-bait headlines only stoke the flames. Coronavirus is still surging every day, and you know what, some people can’t pretend to go back to “normal” amongst it all.

The entertainment business, for example, won’t be back up and running for… who knows? I wouldn’t be surprised if Broadway was closed for longer than a year. We rescheduled our tour in hopes that we would be able to go, but with the way things are looking I can’t help but feel distressed about the outlook for the entertainment industry/shows all around. So many people’s “normal” won’t come back at all until we get a headway on this virus, and it’s gonna take us all coming together for that to work as well. We have to truly be THE UNITED states of america.

As a side-note, Pentatonix has never been this stationary since we started…and that’s bittersweet too. Never take anything for granted, guys.

So while I dissolved into a puddle over Vanessa and how I don’t even know how to help mediate the world anymore, with people at each others throats literally and figuratively all the time, with good people and bad people on every side, I returned to a very old school of thought for myself. 

Be kind. 

What can “I” do every day? 

Yes, use my platform as a strong voice of advocacy, try to filter through everything to make sure I’m posting facts and not scare-mongering or leading anyone astray from what they should be seeing.

I’ve protested. Signed petitions. Written emails. I tried to raise awareness and bring everyone along with me on my journey as I learned, which I thought was helpful.

But I forgot about the most important thing, the thing that’s been ingrained in my head since I was a child for better for worse, the one thing that even though practiced vehemently, never always comes back guaranteed.

Be kind.

I lost that somewhere along the way, a bit. I could feel my soul hardening at how cruel some people can be, I felt how easy it was to smite and bash people’s names who have done far worse. I felt my eyes cloud with hate.

For a long time I thought the battle was human vs earth and I was always so sad to see how easily we destroyed such a precious gift. 

Now I know at its core that the real problem is human vs human: how to one up each other, how to be more successful, how to win, how to be MORE all the time. That feeling has been slowly poisoning us and our empathy and compassion towards others. That feeling is not about bettering oneself, it’s about greed and it spreads like cancer. 

For a long time, I didn’t want to “be kind” like a Disney princess anymore. I was tired of trying to use kindness as a shield as if people’s actions did not hurt me. I was mad at my kindness for blinding me and letting me get hurt. I thought the phrase “kill them with kindness” was stupid, because I was the one that kept getting hurt.

But my kindness did not do that to me. I did not do that to me.

People did. Hurt people. Confused people. People that had problems within themselves that were in no way a reflection of me. People with opposing views. Those people are not my fault. Those people don’t get to have their anger bleed in to my life, they don’t get to poison my disposition with their greed and animosity.

What can I do?

Every day, I can make a point to not be divisive. To not so easily make fun of things, belittle, call names, etc.

I can tone down my “complaining” online. I can not get so upset and rush to attack people that would be hard to get my point across to anyway online, so I don’t work myself up for hours about one internet troll when I could be doing other more important things. Why lose sanity over someone only wanting to argue? Why revert to the name bashing, why invite more stress and anger in to my life, even though there’s enough anyway with what’s going on in the world?

As I uncovered more history, had more awakenings and understandings, and dealt with my own personal stresses, I felt my strength oscillating and now I know why. I was so hardened with hate and disbelief, I felt like a fool living in a world that said it was something else. And...I left my best ally behind in my own rush for MORE.

Kindness. 

Empathy. Understanding. Patience.

So for July, I’ve decided to take care of myself a little more. Take care of others. Make sure that I am not contributing to anyone’s pain, and only being an ally to amplify voices that need to be heard. 

There’s a kinder way to say everything. There’s a kinder way to live. Amongst all this chaos, maybe if we were all a bit kinder, we could ease the waves of tension and calm the storm. Maybe if we could see past ourselves, we could make a lasting change for us all.

I changed my bio the other day. We must be like the sunflowers, pulling toxicity from the ground and air. Nature’s helper. I said I would be like that.

They don’t contribute anything negative, they just stand tall and strong, a mediating force in a world that needs purifying. 

So, I will armor myself with my strength, knowledge, and kindness. 

And see about tomorrow.
