Feeling left out- everyone else around here has gone back to normal!
It’s like COVID19 never happened. It’s been beautiful weather here but book club last night was planned for inside someone’s house so I didn’t go. DD has been invited to a friend’s house tonight. Ds1 could drive her because he’s going to the same house where the high schoolers plan to have a bonfire and watch a movie on the side of the house. But dd and her friend were going to stay inside and bake, play games and watch movies inside. I said she couldn’t go. Ds1 can go. Friends are inviting us to college graduation parties but they are inside so we just send a card. It’s like life is going on as normal and nobody wants to talk about the 1or 2 new community spread cases that have been popping up here daily. I don’t get it!! The weather is great, why not meet outside? I don’t want anyone to get hurt but somehow our community needs an eye opener before fall. I’m concerned about what will happen to our relatively uninfected community this fall. Our town has 50 ICU beds. It doesn’t sound like a lot for a town of 75,000 people.
Oh and I’m not sure what news everyone here has been reading. A teacher at our school said she heard early on NOT to wear masks. Um, yeah, that was 3 months ago! Or the crazy doctor who we thought was sane until he said he and his 20 grandchildren are trying to catch the virus so they can develop herd immunity. Well, that’s great but we won’t be hanging out with you and your grandkids then, for several months. We can’t catch this. Maybe this belongs in the the bitching post.
