The End Of The World As We Know It But Not Yet
I wasn't going to post here any more. I don't really see the need for social media. It's not really me. But I need to say something, and in these times there aren't many other options.
I thought I was doing the right thing.
My lifestyle is basically stay at home. I have a health condition, and I'm tired of having to explain myself to people who don't listen. I spend my days playing computer games and watching DVDs. I don't have much contact with outsiders, except to go shopping. And I have enough food and other supplies to last a good while, indefinitely if I can still get out on a weekly basis for basics like milk and bread. So I thought that all I had to do to get through the latest global panic was to keep calm and keep to myself as usual. Especially since the only movies I wanted to see at the cinema are delayed indefinitely.
I hadn't counted on my next door neighbours. I thought we were on fairly good terms. We have practically no contact anyway. Other than lately they've been dumping their excess rubbish in my bin without asking, which I'm still at a loss to understand. Anyway, before I could inform them they have nothing to fear from me they accused me of spreading the coronavirus. Loudly and aggressively. I'm still in shock. I can't describe their behaviour as anything other than total paranoia.
Historically humanity has survived a lot of bad things. Personally I have gone through a lot in my life. But in times like these the disadvantaged do get targeted, especially if they're isolated. So if anything does happen my immediate response will be to phone the police.
We can survive this. I can get through this. But I don't want to talk about this any more than I already have, unless it is to the appropriate authorities. So I probably won't be posting anything else any time soon, or replying to any comments. Unless things get really bad. Which they shouldn't, but . . .
Keep calm. Stay safe. Don't panic. And above all behave better than the worst among us.
Thank you for reading and goodbye for now.
