Everyone stayed home, wore masks, etc and still the numbers increased.
With all due respect, im going to have to disagree. Lets take Australia for example:

They did everything right while under a democratically run nation. 20 people infected today, and they haven't even hit 1,000 deaths. Just so you know, Texas, has 30,760 as of January 12, 2021 at 9:32 p.m.
Update* its 10:00 when i finished writing this: We are at 31,017
I cant believe I'm saying 1000 deaths like its not a lot, but compared to the US and England, they don't even compete.
The thing is, enough people didn't social distance, enough people didn't wear their mask. Enough people didn't follow official guidelines. Why? Beats me. Well, I know why, but I'd get this post deleted if i said it. We wouldn't be in this mess still if people wouldn't let their egos and personal opinions get in the way.
Its bad in the south. Especially in Texas. But I've been feeling bold lately and have been carrying disposables in my purse. When I see someone with out one I'll stop them, pull it out and say something like "hey I think you forgot something

. Good thing i have extras huh" Its fun to see the dumbfounded look on their face.
I'm really tired of this...
REALLY tired. I should be having the best years of my life in my teens. Out with friends, having fun right? But no, im stuck inside, trying to protect the elderly, but when I go out, the elderly are the ones refusing to wear a mask and throwing fits like toddlers. Completely selfish and a total disregard for human life. Grow up.
Anyways, I'm not sure if I've said anything about my dads friend but I'm pretty sure i have.
Recap:
He had a massive heart attack about 2 years ago, was pronounced dead, they brought him back to life, got surgery, now has 20% of his heart left. That's it.
He got Covid. Its looking real bad. He went to, I believe, Missouri because he got a puppy. Shoulda gotten it flown to him, but he's impulsive and a man, so they don't listen. Came back, tried to get into work, but at my dads work you have to get tested every time you enter the plant. he had it. I haven't asked how he's doing for about a week, but last time I checked, terrible.
Also more school ranting :/
Recap:
my usual school had an online program from August to November
Teachers got tired of it, made us go back
I went back for 3 days, and several panic attacks (not at school I would NEVER show emotion there lol) and intense arguments with kids who wouldn't wear their masks later, I switched to another school who had an online program
Was going very well, all A's one B, and they decide to shut their online program down... And wanted us to come back after winter break... After the holidays... While Covid cases are rising...
No thanks
first day back, 6 kids were infected from elementary-highschool. For a 1-A school, that's a lot. Second day back, a dozen. in a few days, the kids who went sick are gonna have more kids infected, and it will double again.
Now I'm finally on a homeschool program, with one of my friends from the original school. We help each other and stuff, and the work is very laid back and chill. Only thing is that I pretty much have had to start over all of my classes each time i switched schools. Don't ask me why. you would think they had my records...
anyways, that's stressful, but I've done it twice already, i can get it done QUICK the 3rd time. Hopefully.
I think im finally at a school for the rest of the year. So that's nice. Hopefully by they beginning of next year I can go back to normal school and hang out with my friends and make new ones.
I'm tired...
