elfsI’m stuck in the hospital again with very little to do, so I’m Very Very Online now, going through Twitter, and there’s been a spate of COVID denialism and or “The COVID emergency is overblown.” And I really want them to come say that to my exploded abdomen, lacerated face, and broken intestines.
And the worst is that “How did you get a lacerated face from COVID?” I explained that I developed “Covid-induced retroperitoneal hemorrhaging.” The blood loss caused me to pass out, smashing my face onto the floor. The resulting blood mass in my abdomen is pressing against my duodenum, making it impossible for me to digest food.
“Ah, so COVID didn’t lacerate your face.”
If you’re sitting at a traffic light and some drunk douchebag slams into you from behind at 35 miles per hour and pushes you half over the car in front of you and you land into the left lane which is oncoming traffic and the oncoming car there hits you hard enough that through the deflating airbag you still fracture your nose against the steering wheel, you don’t blame the steering wheel, or the guy in the oncoming car, or the car you careened over, for fracturing your nose. No. You blame the douchebag who set the whole accident in motion.
This is common sense logic that any mature adult understands. So, yeah, by this common sense logic, my lacerated face is “from COVID,” not “with COVID.”
