I’m one of the lucky ones
This has all been the account of COVID-19 from a healthy 31-year-old woman with no preexisting conditions and no excess weight, putting me in none of the at-risk categories. I don’t smoke. I eat very healthy. I rarely drink. I take immunity boosters year-round like it’s my job. And Covid-19 still felt like this for me. It’s given me a new level of, I want to say “compassion” for people in at-risk groups, but that doesn’t cover it. It’s fear. I have a new level of fear for them. Hell, I even have a new level of fear for myself because we don’t yet know that we can eliminate COVID-19 from the world, and I’m only going to keep getting older, and less healthy, so one day, I could be in an at-risk group, while the virus could still be at large.
