To anyone who didnt heed the warnings to stay home. Please! I have spoken at length about primary issues related to the virus as well as "secondary." My frail, elderly father in overall poor health just had a pre-vovid emergency. Hes vomiting blood and his nurse thinks he has

internal bleeding. He was taken via ambulance. I cannot visit him. I haven't heard anything yet. I sit her wondering what's going on. Normally I would be there by his side, to help him, to advocate for him, to love and care for him. I cannot do it. I'm helpless. It sucks more

than words can say to know he has a real life emergency and he might be exposed to covid 19. Normally I would be worried but now I'm beyond worried. I dont even know what word to use. The uncertainty, the level of unknown it pains me greatly. To anyone who thinks this is "just

the flu" it's not. The more cases surge, the less likely beds are available. If my dad has internal bleeding and needs surgery I dont even know if he will get it. This is awful. To everyone not wanting to "ruin their spring break" think about my dad, or someones dad, or mom, or

other loved one and think about the risks you are taking. This could be your loved one or friends loved one. You could have anxiety not knowing, or not being there. Stay inside to minimize cases and minimize secondary effects like these. The primary covid 19 is bad enough. Please

Now I'm told my dad is bleeding and needs a procedure and a transfusion. I have only been able to access very limited information as all of these hospitals are overwhelmed. My worst fears have come true. This could be anyone. Please, from the bottom of my heart, listen to the

warnings and stay home. This can be anyone. This can be you. Especially, younger millennials. Stay out of Disneyworld, stay off the beach, use social distancing, stay home! #coronavirus #COVID19 #StayAtHomeChallenge #ThisIsNotADrill
