I still can't believe how quickly I went from thinking "Finally, we're almost out of the woods. Thank God this is almost over" to "I have no idea what the hell is going on. When is this going to end?"
It was just a couple months ago it seemed like we were about in the clear. Cases had been steadily dropping. More and more people were getting vaccinated. Our numbers here locally were under 1/10 what they were in November. It sounded like by the 4th of July we'd be about back to normal. And speaking for someone who is fully vaccinated, and has been by March, I thought I no longer had anything to worry about.
Fast forward to now and I'm right back to where I was when all of this started. I have no clue what to think. I try to listen to the experts but I'd be lying if I didn't point out that a lot of the information they provide constantly changes, or it contradicts something else another expert says. The messaging has been terribly inconsistent. You read one article and it tells you one thing; you read another article and it tells you another. I read cases are going down in England which is good news for us here. Then I read an article that scares the bejesus out of me and makes Delta seem like it's about to explode.
I'm so ready for this shit to be over. I think I'm honestly more sick of hearing about than I am actually afraid of it anymore. Adn that doesn't mean I don't worry about it; it just means I'm so over hearing people talk about it.
