Vaccinated people are ready for normalcy -- and angry at the unvaccinated getting in their way

A return to their carefree, pre-pandemic visits appeared within reach, tantalizing Stacey Graves and her boyfriend with promises of coffee in the cafe and sunshine on the patio.

After getting her second dose of a coronavirus vaccine, Graves felt ready to brave the long bus ride to the rehabilitation facility where he lives. They could meet only masked and outdoors for 45 minutes, per the hospital’s policy. But as infections plunged in the spring, the rules seemed destined to loosen.

A feeling of perilous instability now pervades the couple’s time together. As the hyper-contagious delta variant threatens her modicum of comfort, Graves is reevaluating whether the trips are safe. And she misses the simplicity of their restriction-less visits.

“I don’t have that now. And I don’t know when I’m going to,” said Graves, 64. “And I’m very angry.”

Tired of the stupid. It’s ridiculous and insane. And, we know some of these people and they are actually well educated folks. People that went to good schools with MBAs and it’s like they lost some ability to use common sense. They always have an excuse as to why they won’t take the vaccine. And, you look at them and wonder wtf?.

while unvaccinated imbeciles will continue ignoring them. In a sane world only the vaccinated would be allowed to resume their normal lives, and anti-vaxxers would be locked away.

Too bad it is neither and we have to deal with the crazies and unfair situation they put us in for over a year. It really pisses me off A LOT!
