Is that too harsh? Try imagining someone you care about on life support. The next time you’re put out because your favorite spots are closed or because they won’t let you enter without wearing a mask, and you decide to defy them rather than comply because you’re defending your rights and freedoms from being trampled, just remember: Your family and friends may be next. We are all at the precipice of a common heartache. And you do not want your loved ones suffering and dying from this because you are taking a “political stand” or protecting the economy over their lives. I am aware of how my bias could discredit me with some, but trust me, you do not want this virus. The sick are taking care of the sick while those without symptoms are self-quarantining. Before you even know you have it, you’ve passed it along to your friends, family, coworkers and neighbors.Īnd now, husbands, wives and children are being separated. You cannot imagine my guilt at knowing that my actions convinced both our families it was safe when it wasn’t.įor those who deny the virus exists or who downplay its severity, let me assure you: The coronavirus is very real and extremely contagious. You cannot imagine my guilt at having been a denier, carelessly shuffling through this pandemic, making fun of those wearing masks and social distancing. You cannot imagine the guilt I feel, knowing that I hosted the gathering that led to so much suffering. That evening, my father-in-law was put on a ventilator. On the day of her funeral, which was July 14, five more of our family members tested positive for the virus. The chaplain wanted the family to break the news to my father-in-law, and he learned how his mother lay on her deathbed and then drifted off without any family by her side, even though he was in the room next to hers. On July 1, she died of COVID-19/pneumonia. My father-in-law’s mother was admitted a day later. The virus had attacked my central nervous system, and the staff stopped me from having a stroke. My father-in-law and I both went to the hospital on June 24. Two days later, my father-in-law’s mother got sick. Then my mother-in-law and their daughter began feeling sick. They took with them my father-in-law’s mother and one of my partner’s sisters.

That same Monday, my in-laws traveled to witness the birth of their first grandchild. On Sunday, June 14, I woke up sick.īy Monday, June 15, my partner and my parents were all sick. I believed the mainstream media and the Democrats were using it to create panic, crash the economy and destroy Trump’s chances at re-election.Īnd so, believing the pandemic to be a hoax, my partner and I hosted family members on Saturday, June 13. In great haste, I began prognosticating the alphabet soup about this “scamdemic.” I believed the virus to be a hoax. I was a hard-ass that stood up for my “God-given rights.” All the defiant behavior of Trump’s more radical and rowdy cult followers, I participated in it.

I admit traveling deep into the conspiracy trap over COVID-19. I admit I voted for Donald Trump in 2016. Such a combination requires a lot of tenacity to earn respect from either group. This is the story of one family’s harrowing fight with COVID-19.įull disclosure: I am a gay conservative, someone that often juggles persecution for my sexuality while being true to my values. If that were the worst of it, it would be bad enough. Imagine collapsing and waking up in the ER only to find out COVID-19 attacked your central nervous system, and the doctor had just saved you from a stroke. Imagine your eyes in a bowl of water while you’re still seeing through them. Imagine rubbing Icy Hot all over your head to soothe a painful headache. Imagine gasping for air with every step you take.

Imagine the sound and vibration of an old-fashioned electric heater going through your whole body. Contrary to reports by some media outlets, he is not a Dallas Voice employee, and he was not paid for this column.
