Rabies-free, now what?
5 years ago
Well I got through the Rabies series which was interesting since I had to get shots in different states at the necessary times but I sure saw who had the better system for it, Indiana sees Rabies treatment as an ER visit while NY treats it as urgent care since, even though it could kill you it takes time, a duration depending entirely on where you were bit.
OF course chances are the raccoon that bit me was not rabid given that they live such a short time with it and that I think I see the same, slow, old
raccoon on dog walks now. Always the last one to reach the storm drain he is still asking for it but I keep Titan on a short lead now.
The good news is that with my new immunity to Rabies which lasts a lifetime but requires but a booster shot every 5 years, I could open a wildlife rescue or park. I think I will pass for now.
And speaking of immunity we now have Covid-19 coming for which we have none. This is going to be a big deal I am sorry to say if Italy's example is anything to go by. If we use South Korea as best case and Italy as worst who are we more like? Same nonchalantness but no healthcare and who-are-you-to-tell-me-what-I-cant-do attitude. China and Iran are too different for the comparison. 90%+ will survive easily but the remaining will have a hard time getting care. We don't need to know exactly how many are infected now, we need only look at any country that got it and did close to nothing, that's us.
Nothing the president says will hep with overloaded hospitals and empty stores that cannot pay their rent. Everything is going down. I think America will be Italy only worse. I hope not. We shall see.
Hang in there. Keep your distance, if you touch something wash your hands, don't touch your faces. Be cool.
