Who Counts?

Covid-19 has affected everyone’s life so much more than we can understand because we are all going stir crazy, but how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected my life is not the same as everyone else’s! Honestly, my life has barely changed, I have more time to ride my horse than I ever did during school. While everyone is stuck inside I have been going outside more than I have in awhile. I h ave been  helping my sister and I sometimes work with her at the large animal vet clinic. While everyone else is parting their life from doing things that they still can or getting out and doing yard work, I have been living my life to the fullest (or as much as I can) I couldn’t every imagine being cooped up into a house all day.

Our sad society

What is really sad about this whole Covid-19 pandemic is that people are dying, but the only people we care about are the more popular people.

For example- Tom Hanks has been infected by Covid-19 and it is terribly sad to hear, but what people don’t know is, that a 90 year old woman whom might have been the sweetest, kindest and loving 90 year old woman you could ever meet, she might even have on coming grandchildren that she might never get to meet, even if she has grandchildren, those grandchildren might not be that old and don’t want to go the rest of there live no knowing there grandma as much as they hoped too.

The worst thing is, is you would never know about that women, but everyone knows that guy named Tom Hank. It’s sad how our society is based on popularity! And not about the small things like that 90 year old woman.
