And our grandparents - who were said to be the main risk group - should have told their children and grandchildren, "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine and can take care of myself. Life is short. Go live it."

My husband and I tried, Mark, but to no avail. My son (who works in the healthcare industry) is STILL MASKING, along with his idiot wife. Oops, did I just say the quiet part out loud? I am over it. We have finally decided that to have any relationship at all we simply cannot bring the topic into any conversation.
I do still offer to overnight them HCQ and IVM whenever we speak on the phone and I hear one of them is sick. Sorry, I cannot help myself. They were both here in February for a week long visit. During which we went out to dinner almost every night. Watching the idiot woman keep her mask on, pull it down to take a bite of food, and then promptly pull the mask back up in-between every bite was almost more than I could bear!! I surprised even myself with my complete sarcastic comment control. But they fit the profile of the typical Branch Covidian...Liberal, urban, Democrat, white, wealthy, well-educated (both PhD's)...etc. etc. Where, oh where, did we go wrong?? It's just too embarrassing.
I took the kids to Disney world two years ago, right after the park abandoned their mask mandate. As the kids enjoyed yet another ride, I just rested on a bench. I sat next to a bench were one lady had her extra-formidable mask on. She was eating some peanuts. It was fascinating to watch the techniques she had to use to get the peanuts in her mouth while trying to not move the covering away from her mouth. She moved it a couple millimeters and then quickly pulled it back into place.
Disney did require masks while travelling on the busses they own that shuttle people back and forth from their resorts to the theme parks. I guess that was because we were all packed like sardines in the enclosed spaces of the busses. But that was exactly the same situation we were all in when we waited in those zig-zagging lines while we waited to get on some ride. And that, on many rides, was inside as well - at least for the front part of the lines.
Gov. DeSantis told Disney they didn't have to close and didn't have to have those mask mandates for as long as they did ... but Disney knew best and followed the Fauci guidance - like a good group-thinking "club member."
As a grandma I DID do that and thank GOD my daughter acted on my claim. We visited them they visited us - nothing changed except not going to restaurants for awhile. We all survived- untested unmasked uninjected and unafraid. Thanks Mark :)
PS I actually liked them doing fake school online - visiting during the week was easy!
But I am glad to see them back with their friends.
