I’ve created a new category title which will be assigned to all my posts (until I update to yet another new category). The previous category was established at the beginning of the pandemic more than a year ago. It was “2020 Covid-19 Cronavirus.” The new title is “2021 Covid-19 – too many cases.” Yes, there are too many.

New cases in Hillsborough County are again reaching record highs. Masks are recommended when indoors even for those who have had their vaccinations. No more shopping bare-faced. I’m sure more restrictions will soon be put in place. I hate to think of the safety steps Kings Point will need to reinstitute in the clubhouses. We’re finally feeling comfortable. Dances and club meetings are resuming. Will we go back to being buttoned up?

The threat of the delta variant has everyone (well, most folks) rightfully concerned. It’s more easily transmitted but thank heavens having the vaccines has lessened delta’s impact. Fewer deaths among those who have had the shots.
