Restless in Current Events

I did not sleep well last night. My mind was just racing and I couldn’t make it stop. I woke up several times just to overthink some more. I learned yesterday how COVID-19 is not the flu and it disturbed me. For starters, nobody is immune. With the flu, some people get flu shots or have already beaten the virus and they act like a barrier preventing an infected person from spreading it to everybody. With COVID-19 everybody will get it because nobody is immune. That is why social distancing is life or death right now. Also, the incubation period is a lot longer. With the flu, you get sick and within a day or two you feel sick and you stay home sort of thing. With COVID-19 you get sick and up to fourteen days later you finally feel sick but that is fourteen days you’ve been a carrier and had potentially spread it to everybody else. Also, the mortality rate of COVID-19 is ten times higher than that of the flu. The individuals not taking this threat seriously are dangerous. Like, the government in the Philipines is done asking people to social distance, their military is to shoot anybody who resists on site. Their leader said that he is done fighting, he will just bury those who will not comply. My brother sent us a video from BC where he saw an endless line of army tanks rolling in, or out? It was an unsettling sight. I can see our federal government taking extreme measures soon. My provincial government is very reluctant to even release our numbers. Our mortalities and our predicted rates etc because he doesn’t want to scare us all into submission. Our rates are only low because we’re not doing enough testing. I can’t even imagine what a vaccine will do. Will it be for everybody? China confirmed that we can contract this virus twice! What use is a vaccine then? Is it like chickenpox where you get the infection once and it can spawn into shingles later in life? Or did those individuals get it twice because we created a superbug during their treatments? Kind of like how we create superbugs when we don’t finish our rounds of antibiotics or when we use disinfectants? I was thinking about how just a few months ago I was wishing that the world would just stop so that I could catch my breath. Here we are. I’m not saying I manifested this or anything but the universe did deliver. Anyways, I suppose that I should go take care of some shit today.
