My client and I also wore gloves because we had to pass papers between each other. At least we got to sit six feet apart and use differenct microphones. But I'm not sure I'm going to do that again. Yesterday our Governor issued a new Order that included the following:
Individuals at Risk of Severe Illness from COVID-19 cannot be compelled to work for any business or government function, including a Critical Business or Critical Government
Function, during the pendency of this pandemic emergency.
Minnesota reports that 89 people who have gotten one or two doses of the vaccine have gotten COVID afterwards. Officials there say it's to be expected.
I don't feel as comfortable getting this vaccine as with other vaccines, like polio, measles, chicken pox and the like. I also don't like the rush to re-open dine-in restaurants, sports and concert venues. Movie theaters are gearing up to do the same. Even though it will be a lot longer before I visit any one of those places, I don't like the idea that someone who does patronize those places may unwittingly transfer something to me, at the grocery store, in an elevator, or anywhere else.
So many other countries have managed to contain this virus by having a citizenry who follow rules. That's impossible in the United States where the last four years of chaos have brought out the worst in half the population (i.e., Republicans, who insist on doing what's good for them not society). Just another reason to watch more House Hunters International and find some alternatives.
This is an open thread, all topics welcome. Bonus points for comments about other countries you've been to that you enjoyed so much you could picture yourself living there.
