Disturbing / Freewrite's Prompt by @mariannewest

(Edited)

It can be quite disturbing to see the Covid19's number cases reaching 3000 per day but it is even more disturbing when people are discriminating those who got infected by Covid19. We all know the virus knows no one. It infects where it founds the eligibility to penetrate. But we should be having empathy instead of blaming the patients.

I am not sure what happened to people nowadays. Is it leaving nasty comment will make them feel better? Like when the recent news of 16 family got infected and one elderly patient passed away, the whole family was cursed. Many comments said they deserved it since they still wanted to travel to the redzone to have gatherings with that side of family members. Can't we be nice in our comments. A simple condolence is better than "they deserve it. They learned their lesson."

Where are all those kind-hearted souls? Luckily I did read some kind comments like "Hope the other 15 family members will survive". The fact that government did not lock us down means people still can go back to their village to visit their family. Maybe just along the journey, a long-hour drive they got infected? Please do give some benefit of doubt, will ya?

I literally cried when I read the most disturbing comment, which said, "Covid19 on the rise still travel visit visit. Whole 16 people should go to hell." Good thing, other people corrected the person.

Still, the most disturbing among all are the cases of people committing suicide are on the rise. The pandemic is affecting us mind, body and soul. Please stay safe. Get help if needed.

Love, Jade. ❤️

That is so sad, but typical these days of social media and the ability for random other people to comment. So much negativity.

Where is the compassion? Sure they took a gamble and they are paying dearly for it now, but many other families got together too and are just fine. What kind of person revels in the pain and suffering of others? Not a good one I'm thinking.

Sometimes I wonder if people live inside a box or have their heads in the bottom of their butts who do not see things clearly and only make unnecessary scandals.

I have seen how people I know attack those who have been infected by bad luck. COVID 19 which is not anyone's fault at all.

The point is that people are stupid and their way of thinking is only limited to stupid.

Of course, they are not all the same, but this small group of people is worse than a virus.

Times of crisis should bring us together and find us supporting one another. This kind of treatment of others makes no sense to me.
