Just dropping in to let people know I'm still around.
I’ve been keeping busy with other things and trying to stay one step ahead of the crazies.
This was from a couple of weeks back during my last outing. I had dinner outdoors with a friend and hung out with a some of my DVG friends for a while too.
Seeing the writing on the wall for our current surge, I decided not to stay to long, however.
I feel I’ll personally be OK, but I don’t want to be a spreader to friends and neighbors who might not be so lucky and with mask requirements back in place, I suspect Becky won’t be getting out again until this latest surge calms down a bit again.
I hope that will be before our Holiday Party, currently scheduled about 70 days from now.
It is really a totally unnecessary tragedy; we are back up to nearly 1000 deaths a day nationally and we had plenty of enough vaccine to avoid all of it here in the US.
My county is hanging in there, but we still have several hundred thousand folks who still refuse to get vaccinated. Fortunately, most of the folks who are suffering the worse consequences are them and not folks who have taken this pandemic seriously. But there are still many (kids under 12 and folks with additional risk factors) who are at increased risk, simply because of how much virus is still circulating in the community because of the thousands still unvaccinated here.
We are still getting a couple thousand folks newly vaccinated here each day, which will continue to help, but we could be totally vaccinated, ie 100%, if we had wanted to by now.
We are over 80 percent of folks over 12 fully vaccinated and over 86% have at least started (in my county), so are rates and deaths are no where near the crazy levels they are elsewhere, but we could be at basically zero and getting back to our lives if just more folks would get vaccinated here too.
Hang in there and stay safe.
Hugs to all of you from, Becky
