 Remember the phrase, someone got me sick? Doesn't mean the same thing anymore these days, does it? Hey there, NJRoot22.com here with another little kind of general interest vlog. And this is about the days when people used to say, oh, someone at work got me sick or a Billy's kid got me sick. You basically got a cold. You caught it from somewhere. Maybe even your fever. And maybe sometimes you got a bad flu. Some people even got pneumonia. And guess what? They got over it, both literally and figuratively. Today, that's not really the case now, is it? It's a major scary crisis. Getting sick. People are writing logs about getting sick day one through three, day four through seven. I got cold. I couldn't breathe. You know, there's nothing really wrong with getting sick and healing. That's how the human body works. There's viruses and good things always happening. It's like there's like a balance going on in your body. And people didn't really think about getting sick. They just got sick and dealt with it. They lived their life. Sometimes you had to call out from work and you might have been bedridden for a couple days with a fever. You'd sit there sweating. You wouldn't feel very good, but you got over it. You broke the cold, so to say. Today, paranoia is more of an epidemic than anything else. But it's hard to breathe. Ah, that's one of the big things you're hearing about these days. It's hard to breathe. People may have forgotten that when you got sick, you got something called chest congestion. It's mucus and all this stuff that can't really expel itself. And you had entire aisles in the supermarket and pharmacy that were dedicated to these things like cough suppressants and chest congestion. Now today, people are terrified that when they get a flu or just a normal cold and they can't breathe, they're going to think that they're going to drop dead and they have to go get put on a ventilator or something. But that's just called a nasty cold. And people used to get them all the time. I mean, some people got them every year. Some people got a bad one every five years or three years. I don't know, but don't just see how this fear of a cold or a flu has kind of like amplified overnight. It's just crazy how you can change the mindset of an entire population so fast. But, you know, if you look at the statistics, if you can even believe those or not, or just look around your neighborhood and see who's around, nothing much is different, except maybe the clothing accessories that people are, everyone's wearing these days. Bottom line is don't live in fear, turn off your TV, stop reading the mainstream news, and try to focus on other things and be positive until this thing breaks finally. That's it.
