I guess I am curious if a COVID vaccine takes 10 years to develop how many will spend that entire time living in a state of social isolation.
I would invite people over now to enjoy the pool and have a few drinks and snacks. Easy to socially distance in those circumstances. Will I wait for a vaccine? I’m not sure yet. Playing cards? No, I don’t think that will be happening until things have died down. Restaurants? Not indoors, and I’m not comfortable eating outdoors yet, either. Bar? Maybe never again. Flying? Not yet, but it’s hard. My dad is 91 and longs to see me, but I can’t. My siblings won’t let me.
