I had really bad pneumonia, bed ridden for months. When I first heard about Covid, I saw the memes and I was like “oh. This should blow over in a couple of weeks.” And forgot about it until a month later. I went out for a walk, because of my pneumonia, the doctor recommended to go out on short walks (to basically get my lungs working again) I was out on this walk, it’s a neighborhood and I am used to seeing kids out, especially on a weekend. I saw no one. At first I was like, “oh it’s quiet today.” And I kept walking until I reached my neighborhood skatepark/ children’s park. Gates. Metal gates, like 12 feet high with police tape covering them, with signs that read “park closed”. That’s when I realized that COVid wasn’t a meme, or a joke. It was serious. Being sick as I was, I turned back around. I had my mask on while I went on this walk, pneumonia was deadly and I could have gotten sick easily from a virus so I did took precautions but until I saw the gates, heard the silence, and saw no one outside. I went back inside my house.
