I never tire of writing in Covid-19, because being confined to my home, my writing is keeping me sane.
Anna Camp's Covid experiences
Anna Camp from ‘Pitch Perfect’ says, ‘anyone can catch the virus.’ Where Anna has opened-up about her symptoms, she urges people to continue to wear face masks.
Anna knows that anyone can catch Covid. Having followed the precautionary measures throughout by wearing a mask and hand-sanitising, just as public places opened-up again, on the one occasion she decided not to wear a mask, she caught Covid. The virus hasn’t gone, just because restrictions have been lifted.
Covid isn't like the flu
Talking through her experiences, she talked about how Covid-19 was nothing like the flu. "Contracting a virus that is untreatable, that no-one knows about, or what the long-term irreparable damage is, or what it does to your immunity, is stressful."
Anna lost her sense of taste and smell and/or not knowing when they would return, she said was scary and disorientating. For Anna that included extreme fatigue, dizziness, and impacted sinuses. She also had nausea, vomiting, a stomach upset and a fever. The actress acknowledged, 'everyone must do their part and wear a mask.'
Wearing a mask is saving lives
She said, “wearing a mask is saving lives. Thank you to everyone who reached out to check on me during this scary time. Please be safe out there. Let’s all do our part and wear a mask. I don’t want any of you to go through what I did. Even though it’s a little thing, it can have a huge impact, and it’s so incredibly easy to do.” (Source: yahoo.com)
Conclusion
On the 24th February, the UK government decided to lift precautionary measures for Covid, with independent scientists saying very little about the fact the measures have been lifted, even though it has been proved that wearing masks can help reduce the virus.
Due to lifting restrictions in the UK and me being high risk, I am now confined to my home. I go out for walks and if I am feeling anxious, I mask up. It may feel like an inconvenience, because you want your life back, but without keeping yourself safe, there is no guarantee, just how sick you can get. The virus doesn't care whose life it touches.
The reality is the biggest inconvenience will be having to take time to nurse yourself around a virus that is untreatable. Scientists haven’t talked about or confirmed there is a cure.
Anna Camp makes a good point. Masking Up is important if we are to help reduce Covid-19, save illness and save lives.
