Mom is sitting on her porch in a rocking chair with a shotgun on her knees, and telling everyone to stay away from her until she's vaccinated.

That sort of seems the corollary to a meme I saw the other day. It was the head of the first UK woman to be vaccinated photoshopped on a drunk party girl in the middle of the street holding a bottle of booze and said ‘first vaccinated woman goes on pub crawl bender shorting ‘I’m immortal, mother f’ers!’
Within the last month, one of my cousin's entire family caught the virus after visiting DisneyWorld (I will refrain from further comment), then someone from my parent's neighborhood, where I grew up, died from it, then my 85 year old aunt went into, and thankfully left, the ICU with Covid. Four people have tested positive at my work (though we're all remote) and it seems like more and more people who I have a direct connection to have the viral nasty. It finally feels like a pandemic on a personal level, though I never doubted that it was one.
Given the rising cases, we actually did curbside pickup today from a department store rather than do the social distance dance in the extremely crowded store. A week ago we had to dodge people in a local Walgreen's. No one there seemed to care about keeping distance. So we may resort to curbside more often until this thing resides.
This first part of this article gives a good summary of our current status with the pandemic in the USA.
I can’t absorb all of this. I’m numb to it now.

Yes, and in my county I am seeing more sickness also. I am sad to hear of every case. I encourage everyone to take every reasonable precaution.
Yes, Love is alive.
I went for gas last night and people were going in the building to pay, buy snacks, or get coffee from the embedded coffee shop. No one but me was wearing a mask, no employees, no customers. So while I continue to obey the law I am not the only one who thinks masks don't work against the miniscule covid particles.
I'm not seeing anyone going into businesses unmasked in my area, although I do see some improper mask wearing. I had a fleeting fantasy of bringing a red Sharpie to Market Basket and "tagging" the exposed noses.
