5. Attitudes toward COVID-19 cost some their friendships​ and family members.

I have Kung Flu crazy cousins and an aunt- 4 kung flu shots for them and waiting for the 5th. On the other hand I've not gotten a single shot and i won't. Bottom line?? I was not invited to a wedding on their side of the family as only vaccinated people are allowed to attend. I could care less.

Yep - it has weeded out a lot of relationships that probably should have ended long ago. The Great Winnowing as I call it. It has also led to new friendships with like-minded folks.

I had a small get together during the height of the silliness.

We were getting together because it was probably going to be the last chance we had. A few of the younger cousins asked if we were going to have masks, stay six feet apart and a whole bunch of other nonsense. I told them no.

They did not show up.

Their loss.

Amazing how people who were at the most risk showed up and those who were not, did not.

Happy ending. Our aunt, who we were gathering to say goodbye to, survived and is still chugging along. Doctors gave her three months. It's been two years.
