Hospitals are strained right now. I am not afraid of what will happen to my immediate family. I'll be fine and so will my kids. But, my vaccinated and boosted grandmother just died from covid. Another unvaccinated relative who was younger (50) than her and healthy (she was not) also died from covid last month. These are horrible things. I can't make other people get vaccinated, but I can stop going to indoor restaurants and help reduce the spread. So that's what we do. I know that going to restaurants and spreading covid (before I know I have it) literally kills people. So I just don't do that. And I don't think it's a big deal. We have lots of fun and still socialize, just outdoors or (like for the holidays) by testing first. It doesn't eliminate all risks, but I feel like it's a good balance for us.

I can't tell whether you're sincere in your question or trolling. Clearly some people are trolling on here and don't actually want a real discussion. But, if you're sincere, I think a lot of the stress, as OP literally pointed out, is in covid protocols for younger kids.

Like, maybe not going to an indoor restaurant isn't a big deal for a lot of us, but preschool and daycare shutdowns are a REALLY big deal. Changes in those protocols would be helpful for many parents. Do you not have a preschooler? Have you not been affected by this? Dealing with a shutdown, scheduling time for a test, trying to make sure my kid isn't the one who shuts down preschool, etc... It's a lot. It's way more stressful than getting takeout instead of dining indoors.

NP. I’m sorry about your grandmother but at this point I have zero f*cks to give about the voluntarily unvaccinated.

Or on the children (vaccinated and not)… why so scared? I think these people are introvert that like to not need excuses to isolate. Apart from school quarantines, my kids have a normal life (thankfully). I am sad for those kids that have now spent 2 years living half a life. I am sad for all that they have missed and for what they will never get back.

I really can’t take the selfish stupidity anymore.

You’re not alone, PP. The tantruming idiots are just louder.

Imagine being so undone at the prospect of not eating in a room full of strangers during a pandemic, or seeing the exact same movie you can see on your couch in a month. Pity them. Their lives must be so empty.
