I’ll be 77 in a few days. We have stayed home almost constantly since March. We have a bubble of two. Apart from visiting neighbours passing by outdoors at a safe distance we really haven’t been socializing. We haven’t been unhappy or uncomfortable doing this and have spent our time doing landscape projects and home repairs. But yes, in response to your query, there will come a time when if this pandemic drags on say for two or three more years when I will say enough. I will go and visit my adult children and my now adult grandkids just to see them one more time knowing that I will neither be able to drive forever, nor will I live forever. It’s in my head that this is a temporary price to pay while waiting for a vaccine,,,,but it’s not life and when you are older you realize that the few years left are too precious to waste.
On another note we did go out and about five days ago to get a few chores done. Dogs to groomers, pharmacy, grocery store and to vote. We wore N95 masks, glasses, made very liberal use of hand sanitizer, sanitized the shopping cart, vehicle surfaces, did not eat out, used no public washrooms, were in no line ups and were in and out of each business establishment in minutes. Washed the groceries at home, and washed hands and faces. So,,,,why then did we both come down with head colds? No coughs,,,just sneezes and runny noses.
