Most of us have been complying with Fauci's, CDC's, state and local governments' guidelines since March, voluntarily or not. I can't enter the grocery store, the drug store, church or any place of business without a mask. We stand six feet apart and don't hug or shake hands. But people still are getting sick.
A friend of mine - former co-worker in her late 40s, somewhat overweight - tweeted about her Covid-19 experience. She described the symptoms: initially run down, a week or so of feeling feverish and achy, then on day 10, "I experienced the worst of the shortness of breath. I couldn’t sit up without feeling like I couldn’t catch my breath."
After a few more days, she started to feel better and get back to normal. The thing I found most interesting was this comment: "I still was laboring under this belief that COVID-19 was not going to happen to me. I’d worn my mask. I’d followed the f’n guidelines. I wasn’t hanging out in bars or putting my face on random door knobs."
She wore the mask, she washed her hands, she followed the guidelines, distancing, working from home where possible, the whole nine yards. But still got sick. I'm not diminishing her experience, just puzzling over the implications. If you do everything they tell you to do and you still get sick, maybe those guidelines are nonsense. Maybe Fauci,
et al., are clueless.
