I started growing my beard before COVID hit, but I used to keep it trimmed. I actually stopped trimming it once I went into quarantine, becauseā¦ why spend money on grooming if Iām going to stay home all day anyway? Plusā¦ beards are natural. Iām not a member of any religious sect, but I am beginning to understand why many of them consider beards to beā¦ āsacredā in a way. I wish I had grown mine sooner.
Now, that doesnāt mean that I shouldnāt maintain it and groom it somewhatā¦ thatās something I will get to eventually once Iām ready to start regularly venturing out into the world againā¦ but yeah, Iām on board with the idea of a face mask. Heck, Iād go out in a full Hazmat suit if it were considered socially acceptable to do so.
And ah yes. Politics. Such a touchy subject. Shame that it has permeated even subjects that shouldnāt be the least bit controversial to any reasonable person. Iām wondering how long it is before the day comes where Iām accused of being politically biased for saying that the earth is not flat.
Id be curious to know if this is actual real time confirmation or if this is just old info that the white house is finally leaking cause I feel like with all the people around them having had it already that its surprising it took them this long to get itā¦ conspiracy theories aside I hope both recover in time.
Very early on in the pandemic our Prime Ministerās wife caught covid. Luckily sheās fine now but I really believe itās why Canada took it seriously at the on-set.
Iām hoping some of the skeptics in the US will also see now just how serious this is. If the most protected couple, in probably the world, can catch this, then anyone can!
Is not a conspiracy, I donāt think. The president is tested every day. He just caught it, and is already experiencing minor symptoms (probably not a good sign, since it can take upwards of 10 days or more for the virus to fully start doing its most nasty work).
The hospital thing is abundance of caution, yes, and itās possible that heāll be fine in the end. But thatās the thing with this virus. You never know how your body will react until you actually catch it. Some of the seemingly sickest people have completely recovered, while some of the healthiest people on the planet have died from it.
I do hope this is a wake up call to people who still think itās something not to be taken seriously.
EDIT: will addā¦ oftentimes people think that having a strong immune system is the key to surviving a virus.
Little known fact: your own immune system can kill you. Particularly if it is overaggressive in its response.
I think we need to learn to talk to each other in a more civil way again. I despise Trump and his mishap entourage but Iād never wish him any bad during such a hard time. My hopes are that he wakes up, learns some humility and will deal with this pandemic in a different manner once he hopefully has fully recovered from this.
My respect goes to Biden whose reaction to this was formidable!
Trump testing positive for Covid-19 is news, but please remember that this thread is āhow is coronavirus impacting you.ā While politics are involved in this, please try to stay positive. Thank you.
