DU Poll: Is it time we accept Covid is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives

16. I voted No as frustrated as I am. We still need to maintain some serious actions...

Because that's how we in NYC are almost down to 3% by most of us taking serious action!
Now various neighborhoods (usually along race, and economic, types of jobs lines) probably have some variables. My nabe is mostly Latino with a lot having some AA heritage, and like 92+% are mask wearing still. Yay.

I'm 68. Yeah, I need to lose weight, but otherwise mostly quite healthy so far. I double mask, distance. Got my vaxs & booster. I have to be more careful. 😑

I love to walk about my city - lots of Manhattan - as long as it's not over crowded I kinda love the hustle & bustle of Mid-town, Chelsea, and Lower Manhattan, the often slower pace and often less crowded in some of Brooklyn, some of The Bronx, the West Village, and waaaay northern Manhattan.
My activites have been curtailed by at first 90% - 95% 2020. Now it's between 85% -90%.

To get though the closest lovely big park with low people density I have to go public transit which at least is 2 relatively short rides. Luckily bus in particular demands masking. And it's easy for me to bus ride there.
I'm usually in the parks (2 big ones, and the big plaza then long, wonderful Esplanade along The Hudson River west of the WTC by mid-late April!
It wasn't till Sept in 2020 - once. And ? 2xs in '21. And gloriously I unmasked in the park!💖 I hope to get to the park more: 4x - 5xs.
I have a modest park 3 - 4 blocks away but it's full of kids.

I miss my bopping about!

And I hate most of the anti-vaxxers who've vastly contributed to extending this misery, and death to so many. 😔
