Ugh! My DH was supposed to have an outpatient eye surgery at the hospital the first week of our winter break. He is a teacher and on a computer all day, so he had no choice but to schedule for our break time due to the recovery. Thanks to covid and our hospital capacity down to 6% they just called and cancelled his procedure. Now he will have no choice but to wait for summer vacation. He was so anxious to get this procedure done, so now he is all bummed and upset about it.
I totally understand why they have to cancel it, but I'm frustrated with all of the people who are still traveling and getting together in large groups and overwhelming our poor health care workers. Just today I had students telling me this weekend they are going to San Diego with their cousins, going to Las Vegas, and another one to Palm Springs. Travel is banned here, but obviously there is no way to enforce it, so the spread just keeps getting worse!
