Doing my best to not be angry with the  people who got my family sick.

Trying, and failing.

I cannot help but think that if more folks masked, got vaccinated, took proper care, that any of us would be where we are right now.

But that’s not realistic.

I had hoped that our own safeguards in place would be sufficient, but that obviously had a weak link. (A few weak links, on reflection.)

If you are sick, with something that can kill somebody, for fuck’s sake, stay home.

If you are sick, and you don’t know what you have, stay home until you get it tested properly.

The fact that my whole family was put at risk by a variant of the same shit that has  killed off 11 of my friends, at this point in time gives me no small amount of rage.
