86. I'm not comfortable at all at this time.

Feb 2022

Maybe in a month or so if things continue to improve.

My husband, our daughter and I just got over Omicron. We were moderately sick for about 2 1/2 weeks. A relative came into our house maskless for 5-10 minutes, against my wishes, and infected us all. I say this over and over; we've lived like mole people for 2 years with a brief respite last June and part of July, and just like that we were infected. We have all three shots. It only takes one person.

That said, Omicron levels are dropping like a rock, but Delta is still here. So we're going to play it safe for a while longer rather than let our guard down too early and pay the price again. Carry out once in a while is fine, and we also like to cook.
