Far more than just a simple illness
You have heard this before: “Covid is like a common flu.” Well, not really. Most importantly, generalising and selfish thinking can be dangerous.
We are sisters, and we work together. And so it means we spend a lot of time in direct contact. The bad news is that about ten days ago, we tested positive for Covid, and we feel devastated.
Now that we’re on the mend, we still don’t have the energy to fully manage our usual routine, so this isn’t one of our typical posts. But we felt it was important to address those who have said—or still say—that Covid is just like a common flu.
No, it is not! It’s worse than that. It’s horrible.
If you’ve had mild symptoms and can only look at your own garden, it’s ok, do it and think selfishly. But do not assume that it works the same for everyone else.
By the way, we hope that protecting the weakest and a sense of social responsibility will prevail over individual protection. After all, true strength lies in how we support each other, especially in times of crisis
Thanks everyone for your supportive messages, we truly appreciate them.
Love,
Ro and Cri
