I believe that being careful of my space , wearing a mask, washing hands allot and other measures that some would believe to be a little over the top has kept me and my family safe from getting covid. No ,it hasn't been any fun, and yes we would like nothing more than to go out for dinner with our friends and socialize like we did before the pandemic but, all we need is 2 more months of this and we all can have it beat. It would be just an unpleasant memory, because enough people be vaccinated by then. That ,in my mind is the only way to achieve herd immunity , cause if there is enough people who can't get covid there will be less infections to be spread around and the covid cases will dwindle until it is gone, hopefully before there is a new variation. It seems that simple to me. Yes, no one likes covid and no one wants covid , yes it's changed our lives but we are still here and able to make the choice to not spread it to others and avoid situations where we make be in contact with it from others. Every day we get closer to putting this all behind us and I think another 2 months of this behavior is a small price to pay since we have put so much effort into existing this way for the past year. I think any state that is relaxing the guildlines now is doing us all a major disservice and enabling this virus to spike once again putting us back 2 steps from any progress that we have made. Just a little more patience is needed here, covid is killing us, hanging around the house really isn't. I'm so looking forward to eating out every night until I get sick of it, but until then , I'm in my kitchen practicing how to improve the flavor of every meal I make.
