    3 people in my province are in the ICU being treated for covid. That is not one floor or in one hospital. That is province wide. 3 people. And I still am not allowed to see my mother today. 
    just go see her, wear a mask etc.   Ive been visiting my parents once a week since this all began, as i have to get them supplies-78/79 yrs old-neither drive.  lifes too short.

    It won't last long, PJNB. Not like last winter.

    After my Mom's hubby died, I followed a lot of the rules so I could avoid potential guilt. It's a good time for elders to lower contacts for a couple weeks.

    So I went on this fabulous 2-week Mediterranean cruise at the end of summer 2019. Came home and our hamster was gone. Took the kid to the grocery store and asked the pet sitter find the carcass which didn't show up. Told the kid hamster was on the weekend vacation with pet sitter and I bought another one. It wasn't female, but my kid didn't notice his balls. Hamsters have big balls.

    A couple days later I see a note on the mailbox, someone found a hamster. I call, someone else claimed the hamster. I asked for a quick switch since we went to a different city to find the female. Got her hamster back and well two months later confessed.

    Hamster has since died and I don't need to worry about finding stats before vaccinating her. Turns out there are more than two things in this world that smell like fish.

    We do our own thing for sure but just saying that is the rules the province has put in place. Supposed to be back to a 10 person bubble on the 31st which is still a joke imo.

    Here in the mid Atlantic,  I think we're past the peak.  Around Christmas,  every one knew someone with it.  I had six close family alone.  But it's definitely cooled down.  Being so close to the NE corridor,  everything comes early here.

    Glad to hear. 

    Really curious where we go from here. Is the next variant going to continue in omicron footsteps and be very contagious but less severe or are we going to swing the other way. You would think with so many people now with natural immunity  we would be in a good spot vaccinated or not but who knows how this will play out

    Ha! As far as urban legends go, the shelf life of this one is impressive. Although, Gere probably thinks otherwise.

    I’ve read that many virologists think this will be the end of the pandemic stage.  This variant was so widespread that the natural immunity with vaccine should make it endemic.  I hope that’s right..

    What I wonder is how safe or how dangerous will an endemic ("(of a disease or condition) regularly found among particular people or in a certain area") COVID virus be?

    I’m not even sure what rules are.  Everybody has to deal with their senior parents in the best way you are comfortable…
