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.

Can Children Make Life-Changing Health Decisions?

 Introduction I would like to write about this since this is a situation that is hitting somewhat towards the county that I live in. This is affecting kids, and that's where I have a problem, kids are not old enough to make their own decisions, especially when it comes to getting the COVID vaccine. As a person that loves kids, this is where we need people to stand up for the children! What is SB 866? This bill was introduced by a man named Scott Wiener. He was elected back in November of 2016 and represents District 11 in the California State Senate. District 11 covers San Francisco, Daly City, Colma, and Broadmoor. His goals are to make housing affordable, put money towards transportation systems, "easier access" to healthcare, support working families, and spread awareness of climate change. According to Wiener's website, " SB 866 permits minors 12 years and older to consent to vaccination when the vaccine is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administ...

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...
