So the big news this week (besides Queen Elizabeth II getting Covid) is that cases are going down in the U.S!
Then: "Over 841,000 people have died from Coronavirus in the US, and 63,292,000 cases have been reported."
Now: "Over 933,000 people have died from Coronavirus in the US, and 78,740,000 cases have been reported."
91,000 deaths and 15 million new cases in the last 40 days, but no big deal, because the numbers are trending downward!

For me, there's definite fatigue. I still mask up when I go anywhere. I still do takeout from restaurants rather than eat inside. I still avoid crowds.
But one thing that has worn thin lately is my energy for hyper-vigilance, especially regarding the safety of my family members.
All along I've been trying to get them to see that they shouldn't be hanging out with different people every other day of the week. They shouldn't be attending indoor dinner parties or going around masklessly snuggling babies.
But I am so very tired of trying.
To make them listen.
To keep them safe.
And now, when they don't listen, I'm just...
