Two good friends in their 70s are just getting over it. Both vaxed and boosted. However, they spent every week since Christmas entertaining overnight guests at their Florida condo. And they all flew to get here. Not over at all!

Is not a possibility and never was.

I hope your friends have a mild case and bounce back soon.

'when Covid was around' It still is. Unlike flu, not seasonal.

In Delaware. A few days later now my brother has it, both seem to be doing fine, all vaccinated of course. Symptoms of bad cold she had some nausea for one day. I suppose it’s a disease we have to live with now. I think I’m the only one I know who hasn’t got it yet. Except my other brother. I guess he’s lucky, I’m pretty much a hermit

I was a hermit from 3/19 onward. Going out more now, but choosing carefully. Stay well!

Keep up the good work

I told my kids that between sinus and asthma, I have so many symptoms who knows what's going on. I test pretty often, especially before, after family gatherings and when I hear news like this.

not sure about school. They were pretty good about that last year. At home, they are unmasked, but it's a big house, well ventilated. I hope

Justice matters.

Right before I was planning for my 5th booster shot.

It's a very mild variant, luckily. I've had influenza cases a lot worse in the past.

when I go out, because I always mask. Here in Texas, I only see one mask in a hundred shoppers. Rarely see a server or register person in a mask. Those of us who do mask, exchange knowing glances when we encounter each out out on errands.

I'm afraid Biden did us no favors by lifting restrictions and basically saying Covid isn't a problem any more. We'll be paying the hospital bill for decades for those who partied like it was 2018 and spend their elder years with long covid.

Have a drink and go for a drive without seatbelts. Hit 120 in a school zone. Same kind of disregard for others.
