‘Some families do live in fear’

I agree with Mr. White on one point in regards to who ever called the police on your family. This was a ridiculous call for the Warwick Police who do an incredible job for our town.

You and your selected families have decided to form your own group and “Not live in fear.”

Again that’s fine and it’s your business.

I do take offense of your disregard of the severity of this virus. Perhaps you don’t know anybody who has had this virus.

I do. I would of liked to introduce you to the person who had it before he died. He was 37 years old.

I could introduce you to the guy who got carried out and placed in an ambulance and the last image he saw before they shut the doors were his kids crying looking out the window. He thought that was the last time he would ever see his daughters again.

He spent 14 days in the hospital and locked in his basement for a week after that. He’s 41.

I also know a few people who were deathly sick, Ever have a fever? Imagine one for 12 days.

In fact all of the people I do know who have experienced this virus are well under 64.

I can also tell you as a fact that they all said this was far worse than a simple flu.

So maybe your group has been lucky enough not to experience this virus. Thank God for that.

No matter what “study” you want to use to support your case, we can go on for hours and exchange studies from different sources,

The truth is we only believe what we want to believe. Nobody knows for sure if this came from a market or was it man-made, but the fact remains clear. A normal flu does not shutdown the world, and every professional doctor agrees that this is not a simple virus.

And social distancing, wearing a mask and washing your hands reduces the spread.

I and my family also will not live in fear. But I do practice social distancing, wearing a mask and Ia lways washed my hands just a little bit more now.

I been tested a few times already. I’m negative. Could I be a carrier? Nobody knows.

I do know one thing there are other families out there that has someone in there family that is older or has some underlying health issues. So until we figure this thing out I will take precautions for my family, my neighbors, my friends and every one else that I come in contact with.

I do this out of respect for them. I have no idea who’s family actually has to live in fear.

Maybe the person who called the police on you had someone who got sick or died from this.

So as your family group has decided that this is just a normal virus. I hope that when venturing out you also show your fellow neighbor some respect and practice what every doctor in the world has suggested.

I like you want my normal life back. I know it will not happen over night but I’m willing to make some small sacrifices to expedite this.

Will you?
