I have this one friend (::cough:: Jerilyn) who proclaims she and her husband stay home all the time because of COVID. “We don’t go anywhere,” she says. I smile when I see photos of them on Facebook unmasked in restaurants/bars and even at public events in different states. I don’t care if they travel to the moon — but I’m not a fan of fibs. (Stop it already, Jerilyn!) 🙂
I “get it.” COVID has gone on so long that people have to return to some semblance of pre-pandemic life. I’m going places now (I’m vaccinated) that I didn’t go to at the onset. I’ll admit I don’t always wear a mask when I go in stores or restaurants. Should I? Maybe… I don’t know. I keep a safe distance from others, am staying away from crowds, and I’m honest about my exposure risk. I hope that’s good enough.
I wonder if positivity rates will rise when fall brings cooler temps and we migrate our activities indoors. I also wonder what I’ll do with this guy…
Not only do I have no clue what kind of plant this is, but I also don’t know if it will live indoors. I rarely remember to water it and it’s flourished all summer long. I hope I can keep it alive.
Currently, Jackson County has 13.01% of its population COVID positive while Indiana is at 12.63% (up). Nevada is also slightly up at 13.18% and Florida is still ugly and slightly up with almost 15% of its population positive for COVID-19. Columbus Regional is tagging all COVID hospitalizations of children 14-years and older as adults because their pediatrics area is full.
TIL (Today I Learned): Research found that 94% of British people said they had conversed about the weather in the past six hours and 38% said they had in the past 60 minutes. This means at any moment in the UK, a third of the population is either talking about the weather, has already done so or are about to do so. (Same thing going on here right now… it’s another HOT day!)
