Current Events > Can you smell COVID-less times coming? I can't but I pretend I can

(+) Yeah! (+)

I signed up for pre-reg for vaccine on Friday, but there's no point lol vaccine appointments are so unattainable without an in. My friend had an in for me Friday, but I was waiting to confirm if I had covid or not at the time

So nostalgic for the world lol. Movie theaters. Local diner. Bowling. Bars. Can't wait yo I'm so pumped up to see human beings I don't work or live with

Tbh I really want to go to the movies so bad. The new Bond movie comes out on my birthday and if things are normal by then I am totally down to see that on my bday. Which is not a way I'd ever expect my past self to spend my bday lol

I can, but I volunteer for a vaccine clinic so I see hundreds of people get vaccinated once a week.

I doubt it.

Don't expect to be able to go to bars, theaters anytime soon, vaccinated or not. The virus spread has to come way down and we can do though vaccinations but it's not as if once you're vaccinated you can suddenly do all these things. It's going to be a while and only after a majority of people are vaccinated.

i know

Pretty much all of those are open or opening around here and it's looking like the majority will be fully vaccinated by summer, at least in my state.

just don a fake personality like stefan urquelle or dexter. treat life as a joke game and people as NPCs. it feeds misanthropy but it works ridiculously well

i don't have the energy to say much else rn

They'll be shutdown due to cases and new variants because we're being impatient and opening too soon.

Doubt it for many reasons.

This. I would much rather hike, kayak, have a fire, etc. too than spend money.

I live in a wasteland with nothing to do that isn't indoors or extremely out of the way

Hey to each their own. Though I considered myself living in a wasteland before I discovered the great outdoors as I was living in them. I take it you mean you live in some city?

Suburbs. I've explored to death all the (lackluster) surrounding trails. To death. I used to walk minimum 4 hours a day lol. I know all the cool secret spots too

There's plenty of stuff a county over but it's so out of the way. I wouldn't be able to make plans with anyone who wasn't from the area, and if I were to go alone what would even be the point?

No, I can't smell anything because I got COVID

I still have no one to go anywhere with and I'm like mentally incapable of making friends so

by this time next year we should be either fully reopened but with masks or without. The plan was to only do this stuff until a vaccine came and cases started dropping. People are getting vaccinated and cases are somewhat dropping and most states can't afford to be closed indefinitely. Hell Biden eyed a July timeframe for everyone being able to get vaccinated and enjoy the holiday.

CDC just has to incentivize people, like hey if you're vaccinated you can do stuff without mask, suddenly everyone will be vaccinate.d
