The Virus

May 07, 2020

You can run but you cannot hide. It’s everywhere, even though you cannot see it. I am not even sure if it is really contagious or not. The truth no longer exists. There are people in my Life that have gotten it, although it is not exactly clear how or where they caught it. They have been showing signs of its presence for some time now.

STAY BACK-BEWARE.

I don’t think that 6 feet is far enough away. Miles might be more realistic and much safer. I fear that it may rub off on me and send my full, rich Life plummeting into a downward spiral. I would miss my old Life, should it infiltrate my brain. They say that it affects the brain and our perceptions. Like a nightmare. It can hide in our bodies, sometimes undetected until tested, but testing isn’t even completely accurate. As if things weren’t bad enough, there is also no cure at the moment.  Many have it and don’t even know that it is hard at work destroying them from the inside out.

I believe that it has been around a lot longer than they are claiming. It has just come to light and become much more obvious recently. In much, much larger numbers, it swarms like killer bees. I believe it’s numbers are much higher than are being shared publicly, also.

It is amorphous.

 It reminds me of that 1958 film, “The Blob.” It’s a drive-in favorite. This sci-fi classic follows teenager (Steve McQueen) and his best gal-pal (Aneta Corseau) as they try to save and protect their “one horse town” from a gelatinous alien life form. I remember being terrified as a kid watching the film through the rose colored, knitted afghan, draped over my head, that my grandmother had made for  us. My siblings and I would laugh and shout nervously as people ran into the city streets and out of the movie theatres, only to catch their first glimpse of it, and run screaming into the night.

 What would I do if confronted by such a life-form? Things would never be the same again. Kind of like now. We can’t go back in time and change anything. It will continue to spread like wildfire. No undoing what is done as the world, history and time itself travels forward at lightning speed.

I apologize if I confused you or mislead you thinking that I was speaking of the current Covid 19 pandemic. No this illness is far worse in my opinion and the death toll will continue to rise because of this virus known as IGNORANCE.

Keep your distance.

STAY SAFE!
