“They were afraid for their lives.”
Matt: You were in the hospital during the outbreak as well. But it wasn’t COVID related. Is that correct?
Ronald: No, it wasn’t COVID related. It was, jeez, I can’t remember what I was in there for now. It could have been breathing issues. Well, when I had went in, it was actually after the COVID had started, my lungs had fouled up on me. And I went in and that’s when I really got, really the effect of what the hospital workers and things were going through. I was met by like six people in space uniforms telling me it’s going to be all right just relax as they shoved things up my nose and shoved IVs in me because they were afraid for their lives. But I was like 10 times more scared than they were because I’m like, well, this has happened to me before coming here with breathing issues. Now has this thing actually found me? And of course I tested negative so that was a relief and it was just my pulmonary issues that flare up every once in a while. But damn, it’s really scary being in hospital. I mean, you could tell they were afraid. I think they were more scared of me than I was of them.
