One thing I'm very thankful for is that I live in a part of the country where people are smart enough to take this pandemic seriously. The governor here in Oregon reinstituted a mask mandate as of last Friday, and when I was in the grocery store on Monday everyone had a mask on. I didn't see a single exception. COVID is rising in my county, which does contains a lot of rural area, but at least here in the suburbs, people are taking masks seriously.
I heard the perfect Covid quote today.

“If you don’t trust doctors and science to keep you from getting sick, why the hell are you clogging up hospitals trusting them to cure you?”
I saw a nurses post this morning asking a covid patient why she didn't get a vaccination. Because we didn't know what was in it. The nurse replied, I've used five different drugs on you in the last half hour, you never asked me once what was in it?

So we can get rid is seatbelt laws now right? Because facial reconstruction is so good these days.

"I'm starting to feel angry, too, feeling that it's time to hunker down again, stay at home, when I barely started going out."
Granted, it's criminal that politicians are leveraging this disaster at the expense of their constituency.
My feeling is that we've played our last card with the vaccine. We need to move on. The impact of vaccine hesitant individuals is largely to themselves.
Maybe it's because I'm older but I don't feel I have the luxury of just moving on. Sure I'm vaccinated and I don't fear dying as I once did, or even a serious hospitalization, but I do still fear the long-term consequences of getting COVID. (I honestly don't know how well the vaccine is protecting against those.)
