@loribmt Unfortunately in this little town [pop 800] we are in the vast minority of those who feel a mask is appropriate, or that a vaccination is a good thing. And around here it is more a political thing than a health thing. I have let people know I mask and socially distance because I value my health and future, and they have no right to criticize me for that. When I went in to a local chain store that said "masks required" at the door, but customers were not, I asked the manager why they would not enforce the rules. Her response was the sign was required, she didn't care if people were masked, or not. Last time I went there.

It is indeed sad to see how divisive all this is. But I, for one, would like to stick around for a while more...

Divisive is precisely the word! I have friends who know what I went through the past 2 years to survive and still questioning why I feel the need to wear a mask?! Really???
My BFF and I are having to take time apart. She and her husband, who is a physician, are completely on the opposite side of the spectrum in politics. We were able to keep things amicable throughout all of that hoopla but wow, toss in covid and we apparently aren’t speaking. My husband and I have had to turn down dinner invitations because they refuse to mask, won’t get vaccinated, travel extensively and frequently have all 25+ children/grands over to visit. That makes us the bad guys because we’re proactive with our health.
Either I’m doing something wrong or they’re all just darned lucky to not have gotten covid. Though my friend’s father died of covid last Christmas. And yet, they ALL gathered in a tiny town for the funeral.

We are ultimately in charge of our own health but it sure feels like a swim in a riptide, doesn’t it?
