...more people than usual getting shots and of course sitting in a chair (which is indicative of getting the COVID shot). Wondering if Omicron variant is finely putting some sense into people. Its not as deadly, but sure as hell hits a lot more people. Maybe they are hearing more friends and family get hospitalized or those that don't need to be, are absolutely miserable.

Maybe the "Aunt Petunia isn't coming to Christmas this year. Why? Because she is in the hospital with Covid. But what about Uncle Joe, he's staying home since he has Covid as well, but not sick enough to go to the hospital" just might be sinking in.
