re: #46 ckkatz

I’m hoping you are safe.

Interestingly, I haven’t seen much data from Virginia yet. I suspect that it is worse than Maryland’s.

I have been postponing a lot of non-urgent activities.

I am in serious need of a haircut and had planned to get one a couple of weeks ago. But I decided to hold off visiting my ‘bubbashop” after hearing about the increasing pandemic wave. They are great barbers and nice guys. But I have no trust in their epidemiological decision making.

I made a Costco run this morning during the ‘old folks hour’. (And almost got run over in one aisle by a crazed little old lady and her cart.)

Currently I am debating whether to hold off on my weekly grocery store until next year.

yes, i am trying not to be paranoid, but i’ve held off a haircut for some time now, hoping my barbers would go ahead and get omicron and then be free of disease when they see me.
