@lisal64 I think all of us who are post-transplant have become extra vigilant. We too have our groceries delivered or do curbside pickup, have not socialized at all except with my daughter and her husband who isolate and then get tested before coming here.

My son wants very much to visit but my transplant team suggests we put that off for a while longer, until more people have been vaccinated. He has gotten the vaccine but he would have to fly here so there is potential exposure, plus his wife is a nurse so that is also potential exposure. He tells me I can't live in a bubble forever but I think he's going to have to wait a bit longer, which truly breaks my heart. We haven't seen him in over a year.

The good news is that yesterday on the news they are saying we could reach "herd immunity" by summer since the J&J vaccine will increase the number of people vaccinated by then. Between the vaccine and people who have had Covid, there should be many immune people out there. I hope as time goes on and people see that the vaccine is not an intrusive thing, more will choose to get it. Many young people think if they did catch Covid it would be mild but I know a man who is about 43 and in the hospital right now from side-effects. It can happen at any age.
