Hooray! It is time to celebrate those of us who have survived. In these forums very few if any have lost a member of their immediate family to covid. Few report being hospitalized or having serious problems from covid.

I think of this as a war we waged, and just as we celebrated when other wars were over with ticker tape parades (despite war casualties), we should be happy. It does not mean we aren't sad some have died, but with Warp Speed vaccines it means we have won. Yes, someone could still die - think of Japanese soldiers holed up on remote islands who didn't know the war was over, and could fire on you if you approached them after hostilities ended in WW2 - but we won. We should be so happy!!!
You can celebrate your "survivor selfishness" and twisted sense of "victory" over something that has devastated the entire planet and is NOT really over yet. I really do feel very, very sorry for you and your warped perception of the value of life.
