The COVID shots were approved for the 5-11 kids, which thankfully covers all our kids. This started when Lucy was 3 and I said I figured that she's "age into" the age ranges, and... yep. :-/
I'm excited about the kids getting it. Appointments open on Tuesday and first shots will go in on Friday. But with this provincial government it'll be hunger games trying to find appointments.
I'm totally going to cry when the shots are in the kids. I don't think that I'll be able to help it.
Alice isn't as worried about the shot. Isaac is excited "because we'll be able to go in people's houses!". I didn't get a strong reaction from Lucy. Really, COVID is really all she has known. I'm not sure she how much she can remember from when she was 3.
I'm worried that about the perception that the pandemic is over. I really get that vibe from adults once they've gotten their shot. We probably have 2-3 months (at least) before the kids have had both their shots. Even then, it won't be over, especially for the rest of the world. I find many people are way less cautious than we are. I feel I'm more cautious than most. I know what it's like not to be able to breathe. I'm not sure how many other people know what that terror feels like.
We went out the other day for a lunch and had a lovely time on the patio in the snow. I am pretty sure that the staff thought that we weren't vaxxed since we asked to eat outside (and would avoid the vaccine passport check). When I went inside to go to the bathroom there was like 6-8 booths / tables of 2-4 people eating, some back to back. Just no. That's not for me.
Give me the hallmark winter scene with my lovely any day of the week.
