'With caseloads breaking records and death counts rising once again, why now? I want to share in the optimism but I can’t.' - Jessica Gelt

The writer wishes the mask mandate and other Covid-19 restrictions in California can continue for a while longer. – Bloomberg

For the first two years of the pandemic, “Don’t get sick” was the constant refrain. But now popular sentiment has shifted to some version of “It’s fine if you get sick, because if you’re boosted and vaccinated, symptoms will probably be mild. Better to just get it over with.” The third tribe, to which I claim membership, is what my father wryly calls “the Covid nuts.” I’m not thrilled with this moniker, but I’m a big girl with a droll sense of humour, so I’ll take it. Especially if people like me can be granted a bit of grace and understanding during this difficult and confusing time.

My daughters were three and 11 when the nightmare started, and the fear of not seeing them grow up left me in tears. I began checking in on my parents multiple times a day. If I didn’t hear back from them, my stomach would clench with worry and my palms would sweat. I couldn’t eat. I lost weight. Laughter did not come easily.
