Children Deserve a Turn

The pandemic has changed how we think. We cannot touch hands without consequences. We cannot do hand up, pair up, share up at school. We cannot play duck duck goose or ring around the rosie Or London Bridge or any of the normal games. We cannot play chess or Chinese checkers or Chutes and Ladders We would be so busy sanitizing the pieces, we would not get a turn. I am tired of our kids “not getting a turn”. Why can’t people do what they need to do So we can safely return to normal?

Oh, you can never know how much I agree with you. I read today where "the ICUs are full of people with the Delta, most of them unvaccinated." The article went on to say that we are not doing what we must do to defeat this virus, and that most of the hospitalized could have been prevented with the vaccine. Get the damned shot, people!!!

I am so sad that the world does not realize how important this vaccine is.
