Resuming “normal” life
I pretty much still live like a hermit. Within the last 2 weeks I have taken my kids places again. We went to the beach Tuesday and it was amazing. We just started seeing people again and only people that are vaccinated thus far. I do take my kids to the park since it’s gotten warmer and they wear a mask. They skipped pre school this year and will be starting pre-k in the fall. I’m very nervous but they require masks and it’s time. My kids long for their friends and they need to maintain their social development. I really hope they make it quickly and safely through vaccine trials for kids their age. I’ll feel 100% better once my kids can be vaccines. Until that happens I actually won’t be totally comfortable. I plan to continue to just do grocery delivery and shop online. I tip my grocery delivery people well and I feel it helps them make money so I’ll gladly continue to pay.
I can’t do this covid life anymore and feel so mentally exhausted. Looking forward to everyone being vaccinated someday soon and making it to the otherside of covid

No. There is no normal life here now, lol. I did go out after curfew (10PM) yesterday, though. I had to mail something and forgot, so I just drove to the place to drop it off. Not sure if that falls under "unavoidable reasons." 
Highlight of my week.
Oh last week, I got to go to their version of Best Buy here. But that was only because I had had a negative test within 24 hours, so I was allowed in.
You need a negative test to shop in a store?
Over a year later?
Holy God, what is going on there?
Makes no sense as it seems these lockdown don’t work.
No, based on Sweden, they work.

Whether you're locked down or not, we have all been experiencing waves of infection. NY has been open with some restrictions through the winter when we were at our peak and our numbers are on the decline.
Florida imposed even fewer restrictions than NY and one could argue that they have fared better, both from an infection/death standpoint and an economic one (obviously this is secondary but important nonetheless)
You have had several severe lockdowns and your numbers continue to rise.
So from a common sense standpoint, the lockdowns might not be working as well as you think they are.

Resuming “normal” life
Every time I try to resume some normalcy, someone I know contracts Covid. And while most of them have been fine, I do have underlying health conditions and my anxiety skyrockets. I am fully vaccinated. That isn't to say we aren't doing anything, but we limit who we see, and what we do. We've eaten indoors a few times- only places I felt comfortable with (we go when it's not crowded, eat and leave). We had an outdoor bday celebration for my DD two weeks ago (very few kids and only people I trust). We go to stores as needed, my DD takes a gym class. She is still remote learning though (for multiple reasons). I am still working from home and that's likely a permanent situation.
My sister went to a restaurant and ate indoors with friends. Her friend did not tell her she'd be exposed, did not test & did not quarantine, she was not exhibiting symptoms. 48 hours later, my sister started exhibiting symptoms and tested positive a few days after that, so did her husband. She exposed our mom and her MIL, who are now quarantined. My sister had to miss being MOH at a family member's wedding bc of this selfish "friend" (her MIL who she has just seen AND HUSBAND were home with Covid and she neglected to tell my sister that until after my sister tested positive). So, while I'm all about getting back to normal, I'm still scared and don't trust people.

Being fully vaccinated doesn't ease that fear though?
If being fully vaccinated isn't enough for you to feel safe- what will be?
The vaccine is supposed to work to prevent infection and if you do get infected prevent severe symptoms, no?

Yes, being vaccinated helps. I am not hiding in my house. I just can't get over the anxiety that I will be really sick or worse, Die and leave my daughter. I know that it's irrational at this point, but it still makes me nervous. I acknowledge that I have anxiety and it's hard to just ignore that sometimes.
I have been out to eat indoors, only a few times, but we've done it. I'm sure as I do it more, I'll get more comfortable. I go shopping, I see a select group of people- that I trust - not all are vaccinated. I even took my daughter to Bayville Adventure park during spring break! LOL

She tested positive Thursday and the wedding was Saturday, so yes. Plus, she was actively showing symptoms.

My sister followed all precautions, wore a mask and had her 1st dose of the vaccine, and still got COVID. So, it's not a perfect science and we all need to be careful. She had symptoms, not terrible, but it's still scary to some of us.

I got the vaccine week 1 it was out, I still am cautious because while I’ve been directly exposed and it works, we don’t yet know how long it works. I’m already almost 4 months out from my last vaccine so.... I still need the assurance it’s going to be 95% effective a year from now. It’s worked thus far, but I need to see the long term results too and for my children to be vaccinated before I feel comfortable

Stop confusing FEAR with CAUTION which are two very different things. People are still being cautious until enough of the population is fully vaccinated at which point life can be more "normal".

some of us are not willing to take the risk on getting it. I mentioned I have underlying medical conditions- we don't know how that would affect me should I contract Covid. I got vaccinated because I believe it would help me if I contracted it.

some of us are not willing to take the risk on getting it. I mentioned I have underlying medical conditions- we don't know how that would affect me should I contract Covid. I got vaccinated because I believe it would help me if I contracted it.
Understood.

Resuming “normal” life
I do have the vac but even if I didn't I'd be out. It's enough already...

Funny how so many people can be controlled.
I heard yesterday that Biden might change his mind over people having parties for 4th of July.
WHO are these people that are robots and saying ok even after the vaccine?

The president has zero authority to deem whether people can gather in their homes with family so that is the silliest thing I ever heard from the first time he mentioned it.
Who even listens to that?

Every time I try to resume some normalcy, someone I know contracts Covid. And while most of them have been fine, I do have underlying health conditions and my anxiety skyrockets. I am fully vaccinated. That isn't to say we aren't doing anything, but we limit who we see, and what we do. We've eaten indoors a few times- only places I felt comfortable with (we go when it's not crowded, eat and leave). We had an outdoor bday celebration for my DD two weeks ago (very few kids and only people I trust). We go to stores as needed, my DD takes a gym class. She is still remote learning though (for multiple reasons). I am still working from home and that's likely a permanent situation.
My sister went to a restaurant and ate indoors with friends. Her friend did not tell her she'd be exposed, did not test & did not quarantine, she was not exhibiting symptoms. 48 hours later, my sister started exhibiting symptoms and tested positive a few days after that, so did her husband. She exposed our mom and her MIL, who are now quarantined. My sister had to miss being MOH at a family member's wedding bc of this selfish "friend" (her MIL who she has just seen AND HUSBAND were home with Covid and she neglected to tell my sister that until after my sister tested positive). So, while I'm all about getting back to normal, I'm still scared and don't trust people.
Being fully vaccinated doesn't ease that fear though?
If being fully vaccinated isn't enough for you to feel safe- what will be?
The vaccine is supposed to work to prevent infection and if you do get infected prevent severe symptoms, no?
Exactly it all makes no sense to me. People wanted this vaccine but they are still afraid to go out and will still wear makes. Soooo do you think it works or do you not?
Stop confusing FEAR with CAUTION which are two very different things. People are still being cautious until enough of the population is fully vaccinated at which point life can be more "normal".
That is total fear if you are thinking that you could get he virus and leave your children. That is possible, unfortunately and sadly everyday from anything. We don’t stop driving or flying or walking or doing anything. We can be more cautious but many are feared like the OP mentioned.

Oh I am sure there are many that do. I watched a woman walk down the street today, not a single soul around her, wearing a mask. People believe the virus flies in the air. It is crazy how much people will believe and how they have stopped their lives for over a year.

YOU said above that people wanted the vaccine but are still "afraid" to which I replied that people aren't fearful, they are cautious until enough people are vaccinated. Now isn't the time to ditch the masks and go back to regular living but soon enough that will be the case. In the meantime people will continue to be cautious.

You do realize Fauci and the CDC will not give you a percentage of people whom are vaccinated that will happen. How that doesn’t bother people who have been vaccinated is beyond me.
I think people need to have a choice now. You want to wear a mask, wear one, if not, just like you are putting your life in jeopardy driving a car or flying or skydiving, that should be an individual decision.

To be fair, I did say I was scared. Maybe I used the wrong word, but I do have fears about this. But, that's ME. I suffer from anxiety and this year has really put it to the test.
I don't know what the right answer is. I got tested when my sister tested positive, because at first we weren't sure when she contracted it and I had seen here within the 10 days prior to her 1st symptoms. I told the nurse I was fully vaccinated and he told me "unfortunately, we are seeing more people test positive than we would like or expect that are fully vaccinated. the good news is most have mild or no symptoms". For me, I will take all the protection I can get. Mask, vaccine, hand washing/sanitizer, choosing who I see, etc, etc. I do not want the virus because of my health history. that doesn't mean I'm right or wrong.

How is wearing a mask while you walk down the street stopping your life? I live my life but I wear a mask. I walked down the street completely alone today to go to the atm with my mask on. Walked right past multiple big signs reminding people that masks are required. I don't get why it bothers anyone to see people wearing masks.
