So many people have asked me if they should wear a mask while running… I don’t, I do my damnedest to give everyone a 6 foot radius, but I do not wear a mask. Happy to see the WHO agrees with me. Of course it’s always everyone’s individual choice and you should do what you feel most comfortable doing. Good luck out there everybody!! #covidtalk #runningwithoutamask #who #youdoyou https://www.instagram.com/p/CBhQnUeAei4/?igshid=142k83bxsaq57

My Co-vid Reality...  (Written some time in April 2020)

I have been unable to write with the exception of a few posts for autism awareness. My heart is constantly aching for our suffering world. And any time I dare complain about anything, I look above and thank God for the countless blessings my family and I can rejoice over. We are all healthy! Evan and I do not go out, and only have we left the house on three separate occasions for car rides and fresh air. We went to the beach boardwalk one of those three days and I can’t say it was relaxing, although that was the reason for going there. However, it was, for Evan! Which is what really mattered, considering he is obsessed with water. Our little fish angel.

There were not many people for Orchard beach on a Friday afternoon, but I panicked if anyone came too close to us. Not that they were, but 20-30 feet away on a few occasions was enough to nervously bring my child closer to me. I judged, and judged, and judged, as I do every single time I’ve stepped outside my home. Why is that person not wearing a mask, and why are those people so close together, and OMG, do these group of kids not know this disease is killing people! Why are they hanging out like this isn’t happening! And without a masks all on top of each other! This is how they’ll bring it home to their parents, or their grandparents, or their siblings, aunts or uncles! God, please bless them because none of them know any better.  

I’ll never forget the first time I left my house. I had been home for almost three weeks and went out to McDonald’s to buy my dear friend dinner due to her being stuck at home with Co-vid. I wore my mask and gloves. Stepping out of my home this evening, there was a cool breeze, a breeze that to me, felt infected with the virus. What is going on? My heart is pounding. My stomach feels tight. Why do I feel this way? Even after sitting in my car I felt unsafe. Did Ray wipe everything down in here? The car had just been serviced two days ago. I didn’t dare crack the windows. The streets were deserted. The night felt somber... 

There are three cars in front of me at the McDonald’s drive-thru. I observe if the person in the car in front of me is wearing gloves and a mask before putting down their window to place their order. They are. That’s a smart person, I said to myself. I’m next. I get ready to place my order, but first need to look around to make sure there’s no one outside of my car asking for money (as I’ve often encountered). There’s no one and I’m thankful for that tonight. Not only would it break my heart, but under these circumstances I won’t be able to put down my window and offer them money, as I always do. I could if I wanted to, but I’m petrified. And I don’t want my heart to ache any more, as it does every time I see a homeless person. I place my order and move up. When I approach the window to pick up my food, the servers have NO gloves and NO masks!!!! What in the world are these people thinking! They’re right next to each other! I say a prayer again. 

I take off my gloves and look through my purse for my wallet because I don’t want to spread the virus that I’m convinced is in my gloves, to my belongings. I take out my debit card and put my gloves back on as the server is now impatiently waiting for me. I give him my debit card and he gives me an attitude. I don’t take it personal because I know the fear is real. I know we are all swimming in uncertainty. But why aren’t ya’ll wearing a mask though, while ya’ll serving our food! I want to tell him, but I don’t. This is just not the time. There’s now a car backing up towards me, and then pulls over to the right of me. He’s trying to get my attention and I fearfully, finally put my window down. 

“Sorry to bother you,” he tells me. “But would you please give this back to him and tell him I asked for a girl toy with the happy meal, not a boy one?” Reluctantly, I take the toy and give it to the server and explain. The guy then comes out of the car and grabs the toy. He must’ve seen the fear through my mask. Omg, the server has no gloves and this entire transaction just went down without him being protected. How could this be! I hope he washes that toy before taking the virus home to his child. I couldn’t help but pray...

I drive to my friend’s house who is only like five minutes away. I’m super panicking by now because I now have to get out of my car and into a building. Hold the handrail of the building door, buzz for her to let me in, and walk to the elevator. VIRUS! The elevator is there. I open the door and place the bag directly in front of the elevator for her to receive it upstairs. I’m suffocating by now and realize I’m holding my breath. It’s ok Carmen, you can breathe. You’re wearing an N95 masks, but I’m still freaking out and just want to run out of the building fast before someone walks in and I’m forced to be in close contact with them. I rush into my car, take off my gloves, throw them in a bag, and then obsessively sanitize my hands. I grab the steering wheel and freak out because I forgot to put on a fresh clean pair, corona free, gloves. I sanitize my hands again and put on the gloves. I start to drive away, but my phone rings. I pull over, take off my gloves and grab my phone to answer the call. It’s my friend thanking me for the food. I sanitize my hands and put on my gloves again. I drive home, never having felt this eager to get back. My safe, clean, sanitized, place. I take off one glove to grab my stuff from the car because I don’t want to transmit the corona to my stuff and then take it home! I’m confused again with grabbing my keys, my phone, and my wallet. I don’t know what the heck I touched with the ungloved hands. I go into my home and take everything off by the door, go to the bathroom and scrub myself down. I get some Clorox wipes and disinfect my phone, my keys, my wallet, my debit card, the door knob and anxiously wonder, what have I forgotten to clean? I put on my gloves again and take the McDonalds bag to the table, taking everything out before washing my hands again and daring to eat. I tell my husband, who has been home, to wash his hands because he touched the bag and wrappers. I explain how nerve wrecking the past 30 minutes have been, and he stares at me. “I don’t ever want to go out there again. It was too nerve-wrecking. How the hell do you do this almost every day when you go to work and to the supermarket to shop for us, your parents, my mother, your grandkids because you don’t want none of them to be exposed! But what about you my beloved and angelic husband? You are asthmatic. Who’s going to protect you?”

CCs getting COVID wow so surprising

[angeloncewas]

speculation of course, but shubble also said she was feeling unwell and wilbur dropped out of his event with puffy so i feel like they might be down too

Wilbur and Puffy's event got completely cancelled right? But yeah I saw Shubble say she was feeling unwell... idk man conventions are germ-hubs under non-COVID conditions

[angeloncewas]

*sighs* which one of them got covid? Or was it several? I’d expect several.

Hank Green actually LMAO. But I know TapL also had to get tested and my mind spins thinking about the chain of contact that must be going on right now.

[angeloncewas]

I know people are all excited about the LA meet up right now but I’m mostly very frustrated. Like, they spent a whole day hopping around multiple restaurants and public locations. Mask usage has been sporadic at best and the ones that flew in haven’t quarantined at all. Ranboo can justify it by “oh we take daily Covid tests” but those tests are roughly 60% accurate and there’s currently a shortage of them in California due to Covid outbreaks. So they’re wasting tests to go have fun…. Not to mention that the testing daily can tell you if you now have it, doesn’t help all of the people you interact with in a single day if that’s where you happened to get exposed. If they wanted to meet up and go to a single place fine. If they wanted to meet up and stay at someone’s place or rent a big house for all of them even better! Order in tons of food! Temporary streamer house!

Don’t even get me started on “recently very ill Wilbur Soot possibly flying to LA after making it clear he thinks Covid is over” :/ I can only hope Techno tells him to get lost for the foreseeable future cause I DO NOT trust any of them to not put him at risk rn.

Dream has become my favorite little Covid Warrior! Dude stays inside like a responsible streamer!

I don't know the full extent of who's meeting up in LA, but I saw this picture and it just makes me sick. I know people disagreed with me over the party because UK guidelines and statistics are different or whatever, but I know my country and my own coast. Kids in schools have to sit with their desks apart and masks on (aren't really allowed to work in groups, for example, except in classes where the teachers are more lax on restrictions). People who spend all day in the office have to wear their masks (or don't have to, but most do for safety because the regulations are ridiculous and don't properly account for the situation). The guidelines keep changing as deaths and hospitalizations still bounce around (not to mention all of the post-COVID side-effects and the idiots that won't get the vaccine).

With the test shortage? Congrats, you're rich and privileged enough to go on a nose-poking joyride while other people in shelters and the like have no idea if they've been exposed to it. Not to mention the fact that COVID tests usually take days to weeks to give properly accurate results (you could have contracted it and not know for a significant amount of time - incubation period, I believe) and even then they sometimes give false negatives.

And ALL OF THAT aside, it's so fucking easy to wear a mask. They just don't want to do it. I wear a mask every day for 8 hours straight and I suck it up because I'd rather everyone be okay than be a little more comfortable or whatever. It's so fucking infuriating. "The government says we don't have to" WHEN HAS THE FUCKING U.S. GOVERNMENT EVER HAD THE PEOPLES' BEST INTERESTS AT HEART.

Sorry, I'm just- ahhh. Lol. This is one of those things where - yeah, their lives and choices are theirs to conduct as they please - but I just don't want to support negligent people in any way. The thought of all these streamers flying around whenever they feel like it when so many people are struggling and don't have any of the luxuries they do makes me nauseous. I know they want to "get back to normal" but so do the fucking rest of us.

[angeloncewas]

They're also literally not following government guidelines at all, actually.

[angeloncewas]

tapl already tweeted again he's also positive. but like there was no way this wasn't gonna happen. anytime anyone i knew has been to a big event recently they got covid

Yeah especially when no one's masking 😭 it's just fucking depressing to think about TBH

[angeloncewas]

Angel please help I am so confused. Why am I hearing about twitter drama between Dream and Tommy but not seeing any sources?

Based on what I've seen, I think it's this ?

In which case it's not drama between Dream and Tommy, it's drama between smiletwt and innittwt (? his fans, is my point). The avid angry TommyInnit fans go "your cc is a antivaxx republican waaa" and the avid angry dreamwastaken fans go "your cc went to a concert unvaxxed and got covid waaa" while Dream and Tommy are like probably in a call rn talking about analytics.
