It’s super-frustrating, how so many people are acting like this thing is over and how some are paying the price for that.

They had a Covid spike after Wimbledon.
Now they’re seeing a spike after the royal funeral, and they seem bewildered and surprised that masses of people close together for long periods of time during an infectious disease crisis could lead to an uptick of illnesses.

I got my booster this morning. It was surprisingly crowded at the clinic compared to previous visits.
I can tell you with my hearing loss and tinnitus, I only hear half of what people say to me under the best of circumstances. When I have to deal with someone wearing a mask, and I lose the crutch of lip reading, it’s a million times worse.
