Response #4: Josiah Talbot

Hello there, Josiah Talbot. I see that you have also chosen to discuss the dangers of the constantly spreading Coronavirus and how the stock market has been affected by this ordeal. I do fear that the coronavirus for humans is more fatal than for other creatures. Did you hear about that dog that caught the disease? That’s so unfortunate. I myself don’t really know how the stock market works, which is a bit stupid considering I’ve lived for so long on this planet. I should have probably educated myself about it a long time ago, but it’s honestly just something that has never truly piqued my interest. I hope that you could give me some insight into how bad the market’s been doing, considering you do work at Lockheed Martin and seem to have much more knowledge about this area than me.
I am responding particularly to your question of whether coronavirus affects us, vampires, at all. I don’t mean to sound full of it, but it really doesn’t affect vampires at all. You see vampires are already dead. The nonliving cannot be infected with something like this. It’s a weird flex, but to be honest, sometimes being dead isn’t too bad. It comes with perks like this one. Things that can humans really can’t hurt me. Anyhow, I am pretty sure koalas can be affected if dogs can. I haven’t read any blog by a koala, but they should also be taking precautions from the coronavirus.
I wonder how it feels to wear a hazmat suit and to use a respirator. It surprises me every time I get to talk to someone that I haven’t as many things as you would me to. Sure I’ve traveled everywhere, but in what situation would I ever wear a hazmat suit. Being a dead vampire also means that a respirator would serve me absolutely no purpose either. I suppose that’s alright though. I can’t be choosy for everything when I already get to experience things that most humans don’t. I also may sound privileged, coming from an unaffected body, but I do think that you are too stressed about this virus. Yes, it is super dangerous and spreading. However, I have read that the flu is more dangerous that the coronavirus. It’s killed more people and affected more people throughout all the years that I’ve been on Earth. At the same time, the coronavirus has been more constant within the last couple of months. What terrible way to start off 2020.
I truly do hope that this virus is more contained and dies down soon enough. The human race can’t live in constant fear of being infected by this virus. What way is that to live?
