Think about this for a minute. Our healthcare system in NB has been overloaded for some time now. So think of our hospitals at high tide, and a tsunami is about to hit our little NB. We have a chance to build a wall to slow that big wave down by staying home and social distancing. That's all the government is asking.
Many people have been putting in endless hours preparing for this pandemic. We all need to understand that our hospitals can only handle so much and once that limit is reached it will get ugly. We've read about Spain and Italy, we've seen the devastation reports from healthcare workers warning Canadians to get as prepared as possible. But yet we still see people out in groups, people shopping and not taking this seriously because many won't believe it until they are affected directly by it. When that happens it will be too late.
Some have called me negative for suggesting that there are too many people out and about, but it's absolute reality.I don't feel it's necessary to be cheering each other on for staying home and following the rules. When the only cars in the parking lots are workers, and the roads have no traffic, that will be when we are actually doing well.
We need to stay home and give our little province a fighting chance, please do your part! This is a very difficult time for everyone, I'm most certainly not saying it's easy but a little discomfort now will hopefully pay off later.
I know the population I speak to is awesome and already knows how to stay home, so I'm likely just venting. So thanks for letting me release some stress, it's been a crazy couple of weeks.
Follow the rules and save lives.
Sincerely,
From a dedicated physician's wife
Thank you for your “vent”, Christa. 🙏🏼
ReplyDeleteI’m finding too many people are out and about as well...especially those who are traveling by car to their fav destinations to go walks (aka trails). Although I understand they want a change of scenery, it makes it difficult for those who actually live in that neighborhood to get out for some air. The trails and walking bridge in my area feels like the zombie 🧟♂️🧟♀️ Apocalypse on a beautiful days such as the one forecasted for today. There’s my vent. 😉

I fully agree. some People are being entirely selfish. Just stay home! We have it good, tv, internet etc. Thinking of Sheldon and all the other healthcare workers like Sarah, all those working in grocery stores etc. We need to do our part to keep them safe. Then of course people like you who are fighting serious illnesses and my niece with CF.
