Here at the Retirement home our director is having a meeting today- I happened to see the notes when I was downstairs getting mail/coffee...the only Covid subjects were, she is asking if anyone has visitors that are unvaccinated - that they dine in the apartments. Also, she is saying masks are recommended everywhere (I find this laughable because her and her husband who helps out here, never wear them-nor does anyone else) and that she says we will return to "normal" soon. Whatever normal is- since I don't see any difference between then and now.
I know for sure that some have had Covid here. In fact, I was coughed at by a "friend" who had been holed up in his room, but ventured out. He said "don't worry, I am at the end of it" cough cough. Thank goodness I had my mask on.
I am especially concerned now that the super contagious B.2 is in the US. I have seen sources say that expect it everywhere by mid-March. If B.1 didn't get you, then B.2 just might. Also, there is some research that having had B.1 does not make you immune to getting B.2. Fun times. And like usual, I am the only concerned person in the whole building. MOO
This could be my Mom’s “Resort” retirement apartment you are talking about!
Except un vax anyone are free to eat in the dining room and well, masking, even when there was a short unpopular county mandate was treated as optional.
I had to read your post to my Mother and it gave us some hope there might be one person like you in her building!
We want to offer you our support and thanks for hanging in there.
[It isn’t like it’s not a problem here. For context: in our zip code alone there is 818 reported active cases. Over a 1,000 new cases in the county yesterday with the caveat that it isn’t the true number only the number epidemiology staff have been able to process that day. We are down to about 20- 30 deaths per week from about 45 per week at the end of November.
That’s us down south on the red hot spot map with low vaccine numbers]
all imo
