How it can't happen to you or wait it did!

How it can't happen to you or wait it did!
Today you went to Walmart again, it's the 3rd time this week, but you really wanted some snacks and what's the big deal. You feel fine and you'll be in and out in a few minutes.
Unfortunately, someone else thought the same thing but they had already been infected unknowly 5 days ago. But it can take up to 14 days to show symptoms. They went to Walmart, they coughed a couple times, but it's just allergies right? They pick up a bag of BBQ chips, but change their mind. Sour cream and onion is the way to go.
But BBQ is your favorite! So you end up grabbing the bag they put back. Right after, your nose is itchy, so of course you rub your nose.
Got to kill this bordem somehow, right? Your friends are bored too. You guys all decide to get together and watch a movie. They all bring snacks to share too!
Then you go home where you live with mom and dad. It's the first time you've been home all day so mom sure missed you! She gives you a big hug and kiss on the cheek. Mom is now infected too!
It will be fine though right? It's just like the flu they'll all be fine after some rest and fluids. But mom also has an undiagnosed autoimmune disorder. She wakes up in the middle of the night a few days later, she cant breath! You take her to the ER and she ends up on a ventilator. She is tested and diagnosed with COVID-19. It's a few more days, but mom doesn't make it.
You only show mild symptoms, which you assume are allergies. You never get tested and never realize you were the source of mom's exposure.
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?! Mom was practicing social distancing. How did she get exposed? She didn’t leave the house, she never came in contact with anyone who lived outside the household. You and dad never got sick. You only went to Walmart a couple of times, you only hung out with your friends. You didnt put yourself at risk, right? You washed your hands all the time, you never came in contact with anyone who was infected. Well, at least that's what you thought.
You would never put mom at risk, except you did. Because you thought it was no big deal.
It's not just about you...
