have been 'good soldiers' throughout COVID...fully vaccinated and boosted...always wearing masks when required...just recently, they went into Manhattan for the first time in ~2 years...went to a play and dinner at their favorite restaurant and stayed at a very nice hotel for the night...dropped a lot of cash, but had a ball. They've also signed up for two cruises over the next few months...one to the Caribbean and one to the Mediterranean...in each case, all passengers need to be fully vaccinated and boosted, then tested w/in 48 hrs of boarding...masks required for boarding as well, but not mandatory once on the ship...anyone who tests positive is immediately quarantined on board...
Just saying...things are getting better...especially for those who have abided the advice of our medical community.
