Vaccinated people will be safe no matter what they do, so relaxing is science based at this point.
Our children are not yet vaccinated. That’s why I’m asking on here.
I am sure adults without kids or adult children can move on. I have 3 kids.
We have 2 kids and 2 vaccinated adults and are planning a party at our house for 50 over Memorial Day weekend. Can. Not. Wait.
I was just invited to my first big party Memorial Day weekend. I have not yet RSVPd.
I was less cautious relative to others in the very beginning. We went on walks and hikes when everyone was home. Then we spent a lot of time at the beach, lakes and mountains with our immediate family only.
I feel like I am more cautious now while everyone else has put their guard down.
PP here. If you are one of the few who has not yet RSVPd to our party, please do so soon. I need to know how many burgers and sausages to purchase!
We have not "put our guard down." We are VACCINATED. What part of that is so difficult for people to grasp?

DH and I are now vaccinated. Kids are obviously not. I am noticing a lot of people are now traveling (flying) and gathering in larger groups with friends and family.
Is everyone back to regular socializing with vaccines and covid cases so low?
It feels like we are going back to normal except we still haven’t met people outside one on ones with fellow people who I think are also being cautious. I am pausing at meeting up with a friend who recently with her kids to visit family on the west coast. She is posting tons of pictures on social media.
Read your post. You are doing child care - that is a large group. Your older kids are in school and playing sports and have been doing gatherings. You are back to regular socializing.
Are we? Absolutely not.

Nope. Still immediate family in person.

No. We have not socialized apart from doing masked walks with other families. We will not gather indoors in a group.

Yes. We are essentially socializing exactly how we were pre-covid.

No. The vaccination rate (full) is under 50% in most areas. That’s not high enough to go back to regular socializing.
We have met vaccinated family. We socialize outdoor and masked regularly with the same five families we’ve seen this year, and have added about five more for occasional meet ups. We will drive to beach rentals this summer, and if vaccination continues apace might consider flying in three months. That’s about it.

They’re not vaccinated. They can still get covid. I would continue to be very careful in your shoes.
