I feel exactly as you do. I've always had a great online life, and it's greater And my backyard is prettier. And I've flown to London twice, with entire planes full of people who had to be vaxxed and masked. Not everyone is the US
Hey, Elisa - I am with you on avoiding Covid. My sister is on the "we're all going to get it" train, and we have cross words every time she says that to me. All three of her adult kids have contracted it now (and only one of them is careless about masking and distancing). The last one got it from her 9-month old baby, who was exposed at daycare - and until there is a vaccine safe for children under 5, that is a real risk for parents of young children. As for me - we took a huge risk over the holidays by traveling to the UK so we could visit family we have not seen in close to 3 years (including my mother-in-law, who is now 92 years old). Omicron was surging there at the time, so the fact that we did not contract the virus makes me feel like we dodged a bullet. It did not hurt that by law, we had to isolate and take multiple PCR and antigen tests throughout the visit. We also never set foot in a pub, and when we did go anywhere indoors, we wore our KN95 masks. Instead, we explored the outdoors around my brother-in-law's home in Cardiff and that was good. Since then - like you, I am mostly hunkered down while I wait for the current surge to finish.
Good luck on the procedure. I'm sure everyone has told you that the worst thing about it is the prep. This is true. I was so afraid of it that I put off my first one until last year. This was stupid of me. I'm glad you're taking care of yourself.
My sister and I were lucky because we did our travel back in early November in this sweet spot of time when Delta was declining and Omicron hadn't started yet, and we both got boosted before our trip. Even so, we were very careful about masking and only going indoors in places (restaurants and theatres) that checked vaccinations and required masks. We even wore our masks while walking around NYC because even though we were outdoors, NYC is crowded, and people are disgusting (I never noticed all the coughing, snorting, shouting, and spitting until this trip).
Yeah, my prep starts tonight. Not looking forward because I can't imagine how I'm going to actually consume as much of the stuff as I'm supposed to consume. It's HUGE. I'll report back :)
