From what I understand, the 5% "failure" group is not really a failure at all. I consider it being in the unlucky group but even those unlucky folks who do contract the virus, will not have moderate or severe disease and will not need hospitalization for Covid. That is still a win in my book. Not dying is still a tremendous benefit of being vaccinated, even if one winds up contracting the virus.

Are you sure you have that right?

We've got these booked and paid for so far...

Anybody on any of these? I start cruising (Hopefully) in 180 days!

Is there a cruising group in TV ?

We will head to Nebraska and our Grandkids around memorial day and have a great time,, our friends there will also be vaxed so we will visit them also- what we have been waiting for. Time to start enjoying our retirement that started when covid arived.
We will drive, not fly and have no issues with staying in a hotel

Have a cruise booked for March 22, 2 were cancelled before that.

Releived to try and get back to the new normal

Yes. Summer in our motorhome resort in northern Michigan (Traverse City). We skipped last summer and are looking forward to getting back up there.

We traveled last year several times. No problems at all. We're waiting now to see if our cruise in August is canceled like our one last year.

I’d say Google each state’s requirement for inbound/outbound travelers as it relates to quarantining after being vaccinated. Some still have “waiting periods” or proof of vaccination requirements.

Never stopped traveling by air. Took all precautions everywhere we went and all has been fine. Now fully vaccinated and allowing visitors to come here too. Always take all precautions, vaccinated or not, and go on with your life.

Done with it all, though you and others that feel the way that you do can certainly stayed holed up for another year or so. My life has remained essentially the same with the exception of a few canceled cruises and trips that have been rebooked.

We are leaving for Laughlin, NV in 6 weeks. We also went once in Oct. We wore masks, distanced and washed our hands but after that I decided not to go anymore. Didn't want to tempt fate. Now we have both had our shots and we are traveling again.

Just got back from Tucson on our vaccine vacation. Great to be traveling again. Still had to wear masks on the plane and in hotel common areas but great to be on the road again.

We have flown twice during covid and are flying again in 6 weeks. Everyone wears masks from the time they enter the terminal until they leave the next terminal where you land. We were careful and everything was ok.

We are visiting family and friends up north.
We waited the 3 weeks after our 2nd Pfizer shot. Still wearing masks out in public, because most stores still require it. Airlines require masks! Still washing hands ✋

Follow the science and make informed decisions. For example, depending on your immune system, you can still contract COVID 19 even if vaccinated. The latest science is that your symptoms will be milder and you likely will not need hospitalization nor a ventilator. Whether you can spread the virus after vaccination is still being evaluated although early data from other countries shows you are less likely to infect others. If you have other health factors then consult your own physician. Be sensitive to others who may not have been vaccinated, particularly if you travel to third world areas or visit grand children.

We're between 60 and 65, so will be eligible for vaccine starting next week. Unfortunately, our grandkids are in Germany, so whether or not we can visit them after getting out shots will depend on what Germany/EU allow when. Very much hoping to! We really miss the little tykes. (Oh, and our daughter, too!)
