Last Summer (2020) was bad enough. But, this summer is only making people more out of it because it is too much of the same thing. I think some people want to believe everything is okay now and are dying because they just want things to go back to normal.
However, this isn't the case. Everything might NEVER go back to normal again even though all of us wish this were true. I would like to feel good about flying to Hawaii for example. It will be 2 years since I flew there with family and friends last in the fall. So, normally I would be getting ready to fly to Kauai and Maui to stay there and snorkel and play like my wife and I and friends usually do once a year for a week or more.
But, I realize it just isn't safe to do this. For example, our housekeeper and her family aren't vaccinated for religious reasons. Well. This doesn't work for us so we don't have a housekeeper anymore after 7 years of an irreplaceable housekeeper. So, this is a loss for her and for us. At least one of my relatives won't get vaccinated and at least one of my friends won't get vaccinated which is also causing havoc in their lives too.
So, at least in California it is really hard if you are not vaccinated now because people won't put up often with people not getting vaccinated because it is dangerous for both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated to be around each other both because of the virus but also because many people are becoming militant around this. I'm not like that but I'm still careful.
So, I don't put down friends or relatives for not getting vaccinated. However, I do change my behavior a lot because of them so I and my family can survive their decisions too.
