I haven’t seen my friends for months I haven’t traveled since October I haven’t seen a concert for over a year I haven’t been to a restaurant for months and many other things that I and many other people around the world enjoy have all been taken away.
There are people who would willingly take the vaccine but are not medically advised to do so and those people will have to take extra care to protect themselves.
People who choose not to take the vaccine because they believe in stupid conspiracy theories or people who choose to decline it for religious reasons can go fxxk themselves.
When everyone who desires a vaccine has had the opportunity to have one I will not be following anymore of these restrictions.

When my son died (suddenly) a year ago, the numbers were restricted for a funeral because of COVID. I wasn’t even sure I could attend the death of my own Son. That’s the new world, the new 2021 life to me. My other children need me to help THEM. COVID is still sneaking around here. It’s not over yetQuote

I’m not worried about the Supermarket. People should follow their own star, if it kills them (by making the wrong choice) maybe they needed more education (not media education). For me .... I’m wanting to do the right things for my remaining Children... as a Father should

I’m fine thank you I am just tired of the situation as I’m sure everyone else is but I am very optimistic about things becoming much better this year at least here in the U.K.
I do realise and appreciate it is a much different outlook in many other places around the world with some countries not even knowing when they will receive vaccines and this week I read about cartels in Mexico stealing oxygen supplies to sell on at vastly inflated prices leaving sick people who can’t afford it to suffocate.
I do however have a problem with people who act in such a disgusting manner as described in my post above and can only hope that true justice finds them.

In order to get back to a normal life, including large crowds, live shows, tours, or just meeting up with other people, we need to get a large rate of the population vaccinated.

Nearly a third of US adults are undecided about the Covid-19 vaccine. Some say friends and family could sway them (CNN February 14, 2021)
Though officials and health experts say the end of the Covid-19 pandemic will rely on a large proportion of Americans being inoculated, nearly a third of US adults say they have not decided if they will get the vaccine when it is offered to them.
About 31% of adults say they plan to "wait and see" how it works out for other people -- and about two-thirds of that group say they may be persuaded to get one if they're convinced it would be highly effective in preventing illness, according to an analysis released Friday of a previous study by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Dutch people have a new powerful buffer against all the corona misery. 8 days of snow and ice gave them a newly found freedom. Being together (even partly remote) on the canals and small lakes and having fun (kids) in the snow cheered up the spirit.
Thank you all, my dad lived a good fairly long life, died the day before his 80th birthday.Quote

Midimannaz and kovach, I am also so sorry to read what happened to you and your loved ones.
When my grandma died 4 months ago, we were also not allowed to see her for the last month of her life and I wonder and always will what a terrible time it must had been for her. We were allowed to see her the day before she passed away, so at least we were able to say goodbye, though I am not sure she knew that. There were only 10 people allowed to attend the funeral (while all supermarkets were full of people...)
Anyway, going through losing a child is probably the hardest thing I can imagine. Again, my deepest condolences, midimannz.

Indeed! Beatiful Amsterdam, where I was born a long, long time ago

Only if you choose to have them taken away. I am still doing all these things ... not so much the concerts, though our town did have bands playing every weekend in the main part of town, outdoors, in the two months between Thanksgiving and New Year's - so we did attend most of those. It was pretty cool, they had local bars serving drinks in outdoor canopies, so you could drink too .. although some of the days it was very cold!!
We go out every weekend, mostly to a restaurant, but we have hosted ...and been to other peoples homes as well. You don't have to accept isolation for the rest of your life.
Be careful, but live!
