I drove up to New Jersey on Wednesday to visit my Mom, who's in a rehab facility awaiting a heart procedure (she's 92) for a couple of days, before heading to Bethlehem today for Greg's service. Thursday morning, before I headed to the center, a new patient at the place tested positive for Covid; all non-essential visits were immediately canceled for the time being until everyone in the place tests negative. The heart procedure may be delayed because, with the positive test in the center, she can't be taken out for preliminary tests. Enough of this. Get the damned vaccine, wear the damned mask, and shut up about how we all have the right to infect our fellow citizens.

As members of a society, we all owe certain responsibilities to the society, a social contract if you will - otherwise the entire fabric of society will crumble.
Doing no harm to your fellow citizens is the most basic social responsibility we have, and that truth is encoded in multiple laws and regulations. In truth, it is the foundation of all law.
If you don’t want to get the damned vaccine - fine, but then lock yourself away somewhere where you can’t harm anyone else, because you’ve violated your most basic responsibility to the rest of society.
Jadd77and jdalu75 wonderfully said! and best wishes for your mom Jdalu25.
Oracle, I had wondered why you hadn't posted. Wow! Eight days! Best wishes to you for an absolutely full recovery!
Sometimes I feel real anger at those who won't stand up and do the right thing in this Pandemic.
But these are trying times for all and I keep telling myself (over and over) that it behooves all of us to just be nice and helpful to others.
