There are so many of us living just like you! Your story could be mine. Always masking out in public, brushed up on Ninja skills for avoiding and deflecting viruses and any illness really. It gets tedious but it’s what we do to survive.
My husband and I are facing the same dilemma for heading to FL. We own a place there too and haven’t gotten to go since Feb/Mar 2020. We returned back home one week before Covid really launched itself so that was good timing. We were hoping to make up for lost time this year and go down in late October until the holidays, then return to FL mid January to March. But wow, it is so sketchy down there! I’m really flabbergasted by lack of respect and the selfishness for others when simply wearing a mask would cut down drastically on all the transmission of the disease.

Hi @athenalee @mollyv @loribmt my Mayo Connect friends! Thank you so much for responding with how you are functioning during Covid-19. It's always comforting to know you are not alone. I am doing the exact same process. I wear my N95 when I need to go out, but I avoid going out. I "ninja" too!!! I never thought of it that way, but that's exactly what I do in a store... I love that expression (Ninja!)
I think everyone can come to Florida in the winter as long as you continue to be super careful and stay home, enjoy your backyard. I have my food delivered to my house. In our supermarkets, the workers are told to wear masks, but the customers are all walking around unmasked (and most likely unvaccinated, since our vaccination rate is low). Matter of fact, I have everything delivered. Costco, Publix, Amazon, etc. At this point, I avoid most face to face encounters.
(And @mollyv thank you so much for letting me know that monoclonal antibodies are endorsed by your Mayo transplant team if you encounter the infection, that's really good to know.)
Hey everyone, do you think things will be better under control by Spring 2022 as Dr Fauci projected or longer?
