This supreme court, though, I would have my doubts. This boat is to be sent on a mission, which brass says is pretty important (which they admittedly probably say about all the jaunts), and delaying it until the ruling can be appealed might well negate the value of what is meant to be done.
I've spoken to several fully-vaccinated people who had mildly-symptomatic COVID-19 and are happy because they feel better protected against re-infection and/or future variants. The same is true for as-yet-uninfected individuals who've abandoned all preventive measures because they're not concerned about, or even look forward to, mild COVID-19 for the same reason. Unfortunately, this ignores cardiovascular and other long-term risks that are increasingly coming to light. I'm very concerned that the healthcare system will be dealing with acute and chronic post-COVID conditions for decades. I also suspect that research will show many additional connections between viral illnesses and chronic disease.
Agree. I'll be speculative here, but I think the virus' patterns are becoming predictable. We're probably going to be golden until June (the spring peak has been modulated by vaccination last year, and there's a slight delay this year with the waves). I'm quite certain, the new variant will come in June, hit Florida again by August, peak by October and die down by November. Whereas the rest of the nation will have this slowly emerging wave that will build up between Thxgiving and Xmas.

We want … a shrubbery!
Went to the grocery store today. About 80% of people were masked. Nobody said anything about it one way or the other.
I'm wearing my mask for the foreseeable future. The local pizza joint had its gates up. Not sure if they're cleaning out the place or reopening after abruptly closing a couple months ago. I refused to eat inside after most customers were maskless before the vaccinated could sit down to eat. (They had a few tables on the sidewalk, but half the time the space was mostly occupied by non-customers.) I really miss their Italian cuisine, but I value my safety more.
This is me and I don't care what anyone thinks, it'll be a long time before I'm indoors in a crowd without a mask. We went to a home and garden show over the weekend and out of thousands of people only a couple were wearing them. Fine now that cases are low but I still won't risk it personally.
I'm seriously thinking that I will severely limit my jaunts to places where crowds are guaranteed. The fast food joint has a ton of Queens College students. Skipping them for a while. My fav restaurant said they'll probably drop their mask requirement for pickup. I will limit myself to maybe once a week, probably during the weekend when it's less crowded in the early evening.
I don't think you are alone, you see this same sentiment everywhere for those who aren't ready to drop the mask. Over the weekend in the Bay Area everyone was still wearing them, even outside and alone.
So that is the real technology Mark Zuckerberg is working on with “Meta”… it all makes sense now.In case you hear the word "#digitile" tomorrow, I'd like you to be "informed".
