[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just go back to normal life OP. Just do it! Get your vaccines and boosters and get your kids vaccinated and get back out there, one step at a time. Go shopping for groceries in person. Then to the mall. Then a restaurant, or the gym, or a coffee shop. Maybe you’re not ready for air travel or huge events or concerts yet but you can start with the small stuff and it’ll make a huge difference. [/quote]

OP here--I AM back to normal life. My kids are vaccinated, we are boosted, and we are out and about. We're not hiding, but decisions that are being made by others are limiting our return to normal life.  My risk tolerance is high--I'm ready to get back to normal life and have been back to normal, but now things are sliding backwards again and it's leaving me defeated, deflated, feeling hopeless.

I understand. I had to come to the same realization myself. I don’t think we’ll see any large scale closures or cancellations. I mean, California is about to lose the Super Bowl because of their restrictions, the NFL is considering moving it to AT&T stadium where the Cowboys play. So there are consequences to all the closures at this point.

I think, unfortunately, you have to just keep doing what you’re doing and if your friends or family aren’t joining you or are declining play dates or whatever, that’s on them. You can’t control other people. Some people are loving the lockdown lifestyle and don’t want to make any changes and some are just legitimately anxious. That’s a them problem, not a you problem.
