Agreed! And I find it's the same way with people you've never met. For example... This is my mental picture of you:

 

No masks since a long time ago in Florida, its been pretty normal. No mask mandates, bars restaurants operating normally like nothing happened. Even went into a medical facility and wasnt required to put a mask on.

Exactly. It's getting normal lots of places.  That's the vaccine at work. Every person who gets the vaccine makes things better for all of us.

But it's no time to let up. We're not at herd immunity yet, and mutations are still a risk to everyone. Even the people who have gotten a vaccine.

Wrong hair color though.   

The hair is sort of Auburn, but in the summer the sun bleached it out blond. The beard was verigated, reddish on the cheeks, blonde down the middle. 
 

The hair is still mostly original save for grey temples, but the beard is white. Not grey, white. One guy swears I dye it.

Rest in peace Ned Beatty.

Latest bit of info I picked up on CBS Sunday Morning - there is an increasing number of cardiac problem cases in 30 and 40 year old guys who had Covid before having the vaccinations.  The long-term concern about Covid health effects on lungs and hearts is something that's worthy of concern. 

Another reason to get vaccinated. As if it were needed.

And let's not forget the study results released this week about the loss of brain cells following COVID.

Unfortunately, the unvaccinated don't have a lot to spare before getting COVID.

Just further proof that Darwin was right.

One day we'll all look back on what this did to society and as an individual. 

I traveled extensively around the world during the 2009 swine flu (over a billion suspected cases), and no place, even China where the worst death rates were did people treat one another poorly. Some people wore masks, most didnt, yet no one scolded, belittled, brow beat anyone, ever.

So from 2009 till now, we all have reduced ourselves to 8th graders, pitting one group against the other.

Why? My mother taught me is you dont have anything nice to say, they stay quiet.
