Honestly, I've been kinda nervous to do much. It seems like there's a new variant or mutation of covid cropping up every week/every other week, and lots of people are getting breakthrough cases even though they've been vaccinated. The breakthrough cases seem like they're a mixed bag: some people have mild cases of covid or are asymptomatic, while others describe their cases as comparable to the worst flu they've ever had. Plus, there's two people at risk of serious complications of the flu if they get breakthrough cases in my house; one's over 65 and has heart disease and diabetes, and the other has asthma.
