Thanks to you who responded to yesterday's post with affirming comments. It feels awkward and sad to cancel activities we want to do with people we like and love. As our friend David so helpfully reminded, “Just because we’re paranoid doesn’t mean it isn’t out to get us.”
Are you also are confused about quarantining? This HuffPost article is the clearest article I’ve read yet about how long to isolate if one has Covid, or one is positive, or if one has been exposed.
…
Many Americans seem incredibly angry because advice given to us through these past two years has often been inconvenient and inconsistent.
What kind of mask to wear? I remember giving our sole N95 to our son spring 2020 because he travels a lot for his job. From the start experts advised those of us who had them to use them. There just weren’t enough N95’s back then. Trump thought Covid would go away and Jared thought it would handily decimate the blue states. (He was only off by one color.) It seemed that no one was rushing to order or manufacture the serious masks.
Where does the virus land and stick? Surfaces? In the air? One our skin? In our eyes? Yes to all of the above.
How long to quarantine? How sick will little kids get? Are hospitals and clinics safe? Should we postpone routine medical and dental care?
Do you recall this Sondheim song?
Maybe “Into the Thick of It” should be our temporary national anthem.
Into the thick of it. Into the thick of it.
Into the thick of it. Ugh!
We're tramping through the bush.
On and on we push. Into the thick of it,
But we can’t see where we’re going.
We’ve made a stellar start.
To find the jungle's heart.
But all we'll find is nothing,
If we can’t see where we’re going!
Into the thick of it.
Into the thick of it.
Into the thick of it.
But we can’t see where we’re going!
Into the thick of it.
Into the thick of it.
Into the thick of it.
But we can’t see where we’re going! Ugh!
The jungle's kind of tricky,
The path is never straight,
And sometimes there's no path at all
Which makes it hard to navigate.
Although the jungle's thick,
We're moving through it quick.
But that won't do us any good
If we're going around in circles.
Into the thick of it.
Into the thick of it.
Into the thick of it.
We’re going round in circles! Ugh!
These trees look so familiar,
We've been here once before.
You're right, except it wasn't once
It was three times, or four.
Stuck in the thick of it!
Stuck in the thick of it!
Stuck in the thick of it!
We’ve gone around in circles

Len once said this when we started dating. We both laughed and kept using it. It’s the motto we would have on our family crest if we had a crest.
“If this were easy, cats could do it.”
