Upswing in reported cases locally

[JonSR77]

We notice the majority of people we see out shopping, are still wearing masks, us included.

erring on the side of caution is rarely unwise.

I am in a darn rehab center and got the damn bug! After 2 years of precautions. But my own resistance is down and a few patients here have it.

Hoping you are ok. Please continue to update us on how you are doing.

take care.

My daughter got Covid a couple weeks ago. I think it was because she was exhausted and thus more vulnerable. She said it felt like allergies but finally took the test. And it was positive. She’s feeling much better now. School is out, so she’s getting some rest.

A few nights ago, the news guy on t.v. said there were 193 cases on a nearby college campus.

It's rare to see anybody wearing masks. I put one on before I walk out the door, and don't take it off til I'm on my way back in.

OK, so a club I belong to is having its annual membership "banquet" this evening. Usually it's a full dinner, but this is our first one since Covid hit, and we're just having a cocktail party with hors d'oevres, etc. Not sure if that decision has anything to do with Covid or not, as our restaurants are reopened, and most of us do go out to eat. It may be due to personnel or food delivery problems.

Anyway, about the masks... how do we manage masks at a party where everyone is circulating around with food and drinks? Wear a mask and move it down every time we want to take a sip? They tell us to wear a mask indoors, but how?

We are all seniors, nearly all are vaccinated, and some have gotten one of the mild variants, which they say is sort of like a bad cold. And everybody is thoroughly sick of the uncertainty, the contradictions, and the confusion about what to do.

Anyway, I'm going, and hope I don't catch anything.

I hope you (and your friends) will be o.k.!!!
I'd wondered about how to eat/drink with masks, too. (It doesn't apply to me, though, as eating/drinking isn't what I do when I'm out anyway, just going to store or other similar errands).

No parties or anything in my life. Only do the grocery, pharmacy, doctors. Once in a great while I take my son out to a late lunch when the crowds have gone. I still wear the mask everywhere I go.

That was my thought also. It ends when people stop complying.

Political, Religioius, and Corporate Leaders are into forced compliance and those who don't comply will by seriously dealt with sooner or later. They may also be the only ones 'safe' from the terrible things that will happen or may happen to those who have complied or will comply later.
