Things are slowly returning to normal. This Friday I return to my discussion group at the nursing home where I volunteer. The state is still very strict about nursing homes since they are the source of many of the COVID deaths. I can have my group outside in a group no larger than 10 people. Because my voice doesn't carry very far, I'll be using a microphone in order to maintain social distancing.
We've also begun to eat (outdoors) at restaurants and we've been doing other kinds of errands as well.
Compared to the other states-especially Florida-Connecticut is doing very well. We went from having one of the highest per capita infection rates a few months ago to the lowest. The way we did this was simple-we quarantined, wore masks and practiced social distancing.
Those states now seeing a surge in infections relaxed their standards too quickly. Now they're paying the price. Yet, the governors are insisting children return to school. Idiots. I hope parents, teachers and other school staff and officials rebel.
We're scheduled to go to our condo in Florida in November. I thought when I booked the tickets we'd be easily over all of this. Now I'm not so sure.
I'll update this later.
