My Experience With COVID-19

As I'm sure the world has known, COVID-19 has spread throughout the entire planet. This virus has been known to end the lives of many people's loved ones and end the freedoms that people have once beheld. This sole virus is a huge reason why the nation has been become more divided on how we should protect the people of this deadly disease. Some say that we need to shut the entire country down so it'll pass over, others like myself believe that we cannot let this virus stop us from living our lives. We cannot shut the country down, cause businesses cannot make money and consumers can't buy what they need to help their essential needs and potentially increasing the death toll. It's this big slippery slope of scenarios where it's bad news for all citizens who legally reside in this country.

Enough with my opinions about how the country should've handled it, let's talk about what the title of this post is about. I got tested positive for COVID-19 on January 31st of 2022. The variant that I had was unknown, but if I had to take a guess on which "variant" I got, it would probably be Omicron since I heard that it is the least deadly out of all the other ones. The symptoms that I had were started with a sore throat, leading to a headache, and having a stuffy nose. The coughing lasted for days and would not go away for a long time, but drinking a bunch of water definitely sped up the recovering process. I stayed isolated in my college dorm for a total of 10 days, got retested to make sure I was completely over it.

Even though I got COVID, it still doesn't stop me from not wearing a mask while I am outside since I want to breathe the fresh air. I still wear my mask inside the malls since my county is still requiring masks to be worn inside, regardless of your vaccination status. Supposedly on March 2nd, my county will be the absolute LAST county to remove the indoor mandate, let's see if that holds true.

    This is the sad truth about COVID. My father remembers when the flu spread rapidly and people were dying. He said..."We just wore our masks for a few months, then went back to our lives once we knew it was endemic."

    COVID may spread faster and many people died because the disease hadn't affected enough people yet.. Now that it has, there will be some strains which are severe and some which are light. We just need to manage it now. That is all we can do.

Roe vs. Wade: Should It Be Overturned?

Introduction Giving a BIG thank you to the SCOTUS who "accidentally" leaked the information that the Supreme Court is trying to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Oh boy here we go, the topic where apparently ONLY WOMEN get to have a say on this movement and where men are not allowed to have ANY sort of say. Let me first start off by saying that men are allowed to have some sort of say, in what happens to the kid, but it is ultimately the woman's decision. The topic of abortion is so controversial to the point where I, myself, don't have a one-sided opinion on this. Here's the problem, should abortion be a woman's right or a privilege? History of Roe vs. Wade Abortion was not accessible in all 50 states, it was provided in at most 4 states. In 1973, this was considered a lawsuit to give women the right to be able to have an abortion. The name "Roe" comes from a woman named Jane Roe, which is a pseudonym for Norma McCorvey, who lived in Texas. She got pregnant an

Is Freedom Of Speech Limited?

 With the world of politics continuously changing, lines have become blurred when it comes to constitutional rights. The constitution was set in stone to help guide and set order among the people that live in this country. America may be the land of the free, but that freedom also has to come with not breaking laws either. In today's world, I feel that the "freedom" has been very limited and that it has become very one-sided, who gets to have that freedom of expression? Who is "allowed" to have a voice? Who is "allowed" to have an opinion? What is the first amendment? For the people that have studied history at their schools, people know that the first amendment has to do with freedom of speech. If we were to look at that amendment in depth, according to the Legal Information Institute,       "The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. It forbids Congress from both promoting o

Should Student Debt Be Forgiven?

 Introduction This just in, Biden has just announced that he is going to forgive student debt! Doesn't that sound amazing? You will no longer have to use too much of your "hard-earned" money to pay for the school that YOU decided to attend! Let's give a round of applause to the charitable white house that is equivalent to Homelander saving the people of America out of the kindness of his heart. If you thought this last sentence was me being serious, LOL I wasn't being serious. On a real note, what is the actual plan? There are people that do not read the fine print and only read the headlines. Those who do that, often get suckered into investing time and money in something that doesn't even work or benefit them. Let's dig deeper into this plan on what it is really about. What is Biden's actual plan? According to The New York Times , " President Biden announced a plan on Wednesday to wipe out significant amounts of student loan debt for tens of mil
