To my fans: If youve made it this far without contracting Covid-19, just keep up your vigilance a bit longer. There is a vaccine on its way! Dont let your guard down and become infected right at the moment there is real hope for a return to normal.

(149,296 posts)We plan to hang on and survive this. We will get vaccinated WHEN reputable scientists tell us the vaccine is good and effective.
We are both old and have pre-existing conditions, and if either of us gets infected, we will most likely die. And neither of us is ready for that.
I miss seeing my family, but that would be permanent if I got sick with this virus.

(90,189 posts)There are a couple of reasons I will regretfully decline, but COVID is at the very, very top.
This, too, shall pass.

(30,655 posts)I go to the pharmacy and the grocery store, sometimes the convenience store.
My husband is harder to keep in. He had to buy a surge protector yesterday. He stayed around and browsed the store, buying unnecessary items. Even if everyone was masked, it is a risk.
We won't survive, either, if we get sick.
I would like to see my son for Thanksgiving, but I think we will tell him to stay away.
I hope all my DU friends are still here in a year.

Thanks, Uncle George!

(115,267 posts)It's not killing me to stay home and avoid gatherings of other people, though it would be nice to be able to get out and socialize. However, it could kill me not to stay home and avoid gatherings of other people. I've managed to hide out for eight months and I figure I can keep doing it indefinitely if I have to.

(7,802 posts)since we don't go out and look around except to visit our other pod. Even on the less traveled streets, there are too many cars for there to be many still at home.
In the meantime, let's watch this top ten hit from this past spring.

What a gem!

(7,802 posts)But I can't take credit - it was in several threads this past spring.

(25,896 posts)In spite of the (finally!) good news about the election, it's been depressing staring down the prospect of holidays at home alone. This is nice laugh for the day. Thanks again!

Oh, no. It's not just you. There are still a bunch of us hanging in there. But I know what you mean. It's gotten really old. Thank goodness it's almost over. 🌻
