That's good. And super cool that they're following protocol... unlike SOME places in this country
But I am happy for you. Imagining the ice cream and the fudge... mmm mmm.
So I think all the (young) people shaming others on SMS or being rude and even hostile, wishing sickness on people, just for going out are being more than a little unreasonable.
I would never wish sickness on people. That's just rude.
And what's SMS?
But restaurants aren't (supposed to be) operating at 100% capacity anyways. Many haven't even had their dining rooms open. With employees wearing masks, washing hands, doing temp. checks, and sanitizing the restaurants more often, and with customers not being seated next to each other and wearing masks at all times (except for when putting food and drink in their mouths) it shouldn't be that big of a deal. You're not even allowed to serve yourself at buffets.
Maybe seeing each other in person would be a good idea, but I always think that there can be a good way to go about it. Like today I talked to my mom and learned that it wasn’t a whole batch of friends, but only one person, so that’s more of a relief. However, it would’ve been better if perhaps they met at each others house instead of go to this place.
Maybe in your cities, it is safe and nice, and I applaud that, but it is NOT that way in Old Town Alexandria. NO ONE wears their masks, people are SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO EACHOTHER in restaurants, and quite frankly, that city just ain’t following protocol. They all live in Lala land. It's pathetic, tbh.
So again, maybe it could’ve worked if they went in each others houses, since it’s definitely safe, but Old Town is not safe, and that's... where they decided to go.
Zolxys said: No one lives forever. If Covid 19 doesn't do you in, something else will eventually. To compromise on the things you want to do and live the rest of your life in seclusion trying not to get sick just seems rather pathetic to me.
Ok not live my life in seclusion but being safe is important, and as I mentioned my city is nooooot safe. And I'm just giving my mom advice to be more safe. I don't wanna stop her from seeing friends, but she can't hang out with them in places that ain't safe y'know, and my mom understands this and is taking it into consideration for next time.
And as for me, If I were to hang out with my friends, I would just tell them "hey, me and you should quarantine for 2 weeks and then we can hangout at said safe place" ideal right? Unfortunately one of my friends lives 8 hours away now and um... well... the other is... well I ain't gonna get into that XD
But... ok this does make me wonder how LONG this shit is gonna last for though, since there ARE some things I'd like to do, but I'd rather wait, even if it's a few years. My mom said that they either have to come out with a vaccine, or everyone has to get infected or something like that.
And as for your brother, does he really have much to fear from getting it?
He's the one that's most worried, yes. He's young so according to data, he's not likely to die. But I respect his worries though. But I'm not gonna be like "oMg yOu pArAnOiD duMMy, gEt oVeR yOuRsELf"
But not wanting to get sick isn't a good reason to tell your mother that she shouldn't have a life.
But telling her to be safe isn't something to be frowned upon either. And this isn't about me, it's about her and my family. And I also understand that me telling her stuff isn't gonna control her. At the eeeeend of the day, she has full autonomy over her life, and if she want's to go ahead and be unsafe, that's totally up to her. So just cuz I tell her, doesn't mean she HAS to follow.
And...imagining my parents dying soon brings me intense suffering, especially since I'm moving out soon... but whatever, I guess that's MY stupid emotional problem.
And honestly even worse when I see my peers on snapchat go out and drink and party and huddle around total strangers and make out with strangers and then come home to their parents, buuuuut that's none of my business nor my situation since those peers aren't my family or anything.
