Too soon for me
On Tuesday, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb announced his plans to relax state coronavirus restrictions. I feel uneasy about that, like an extra on The Walking Dead. Like it’s only a matter of time before the virus spreads anew, or one of the many variants crawls up my nose.
I just don’t think people will be able to contain themselves, like spring break revelers dancing inches apart, doing the Wuhan Watusi while others grieve for those recently or not-so-recently ended by the ghastly disease. I think I could handle masking and socially-distancing for another six months, if it means we all get to live.
I am vaccinated, I got the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine last Friday, but I won’t be fully immune for about 28 days. I couldn’t live with myself if I were carrying the virus without symptoms and infected anyone else.
I was talking about this with a friend, also vaccinated, and we decided that even if the state opens up wide, we will continue to mask, disinfect and socially-distance for at least a month afterwards. Maybe it will be no different from the last year, maybe it will be a pain in the neck but, as I said, I can take another month or even another year if that means we all get to live through it. Stay strong, friends. Stay safe. Stay home and make me cookies.
