I mean I do miss a lot of things. Meeting up with people, going out, attending events, traveling, having some adult fun too.... and attending various German celebrations.
But to be honest... I know that my actions have consequences. I know that if I go out now and get sick... and let's say I do not realize it, then I could pass on the virus to others. Some of those people work in hospitals, at senior homes, as police, as firemen, etc. So, I get it... I am fine with a lockdown.
Do I hope that a vaccine becomes available that can help contain the virus and its new strains? YES! YES! And YES! I will take the vaccine when it become available here. Granted I do worry about long term side effects... but I will still take it, so that way I can return to a somewhat normal life.
Until then we will be on this lockdown... no lockdown... lockdown... roller coaster, because not everyone understands that their actions can have consequences. If that makes sense. I just want the Corona coaster to come to an end.
