Wait, do you realize that nasal tests are painless, just take a minute, and you know the results in 15 minutes? Getting tested is a non-event.

I’m referring to the mental toll the protocol takes. I am sure for some people it’s a win.

+1 I understand. I have friends and family members who refuse the vaccinations, and I believe that is their right. The idea of mandates in a free society bugs me, I don’t like it. I am grateful to get experimental vaccines that I think help more than hurt.

My wife and I have tried to make life as normal and enjoyable during Covid-19. One thing that helps hugely is seeing friends and family often, but outside. Breakfast and coffee in a yard, or everyone take a picnic lunch to a park. Every moment we live is a gift, and everyone needs to figure out for themselves how to live a free and inspired life.
