COVID and Kids
This will be short one.
My unvaccinated, young 4 year old caught COVID. For anyone who thinks it’s a minor cold and that kids aren’t really affected, YOU ARE WRONG.
My child spiked an almost 104 degree fever, was vomiting, lethargic, sweating through pajamas and more. This lasted for a few days. Doctors came out to the house to monitor her vitals, and they volunteered to come back a 2nd time to check because they were so concerned.
Delta is everywhere. Everywhere.
How do we stop this madness? (1) Get vaccinated – if you are not, you are a petri dish enabling this virus to continue to mutate and infect others. This isn’t just about you – you are making other people, like my daughter, sick; (2) Continue to mask in public and continue to socially distance – even if you are vaccinated, you can carry the virus and pass it along. (3) Don’t make this political – you are being offered a life saving vaccine. This is in NO WAY similar to the holocaust (just stop), no one is out to get you, the government isn’t hiding data, schools have been requiring vaccines for a loooong time, kids don’t mind wearing masks (for some reason parents are going ape sh*t about it – get a hobby), vaccinated people aren’t shedding things, just stop. stop. Trust the experts, not some random person on Facebook, YouTube, etc. These experts go to school for years and years and years – that person on Facebook is most likely not a PhD in epidemiology and may be spreading random rumors while eating flaming hot Cheetos.
You don’t want to see and go through what I did a few weeks ago. COVID is real. Grow up. Do the right thing.
