re: #180 Mattand

I forget what capacity they’re allowing, but the Phillies are upping the seating limit at home games. My partner is fully vaccinated and I’ll be there by the end of April.

I’m not in any blinding hurry to go see a game, but I’ve been wrestling with the idea if it would be okay for us to go as long as we stay masked whenever possible (the only real exception to that would be when you’re eating snacks.)

Two big caveats to this:

1) There is most likely an abnormally high percentage of COVIDiots among Philly sports fans, a group not necessarily known for embracing logic or restraint. I don’t need Tony from Port Richmond throwing a beer at us because he thinks COVID is a hoax.

2) The COVID variants are starting to pop up in the Philly metro area. My understanding is the current vaccines handle a lot of them, but I have zero interest in helping spread them further.

i am probably extreme in this.
i see almost no ‘voluntary’ activity as worth the risk - whether to the virus itself or as you say, the reactions of others.

we are fortunate. there’s not much we do, or did ‘out’
my entire extended family all work from home.
we miss dining out but only a little - take out has worked well for us for a year because it’s mostly about the food. only some about the ambiance and service.
we dont do sports, bars, amusement parks, beaches and the like
months at a time on the road motorcycling is behind me now.
we have a pond.
mrsdm does miss her parents - it’s been 2 years. and after she gets shot #2 we will carefully pilgrimage up to NJ.
