34. Phenomenal and amazing - but it's still just a start if we want to achieve what passes as "normal"

Here in New York, my county has done exceptionally well. It's amazingly one of the top in the nation. But we still have a long way to go, yet what I've seen is encouraging. On Friday, I took my brother to get his second shot at the state run facility at the local mall where they've started accepting walk-ins. The place was even busier than it was when I took him 3 weeks ago to get shot#1 - and there were not only older and middle-aged people going in, but saw some teens as well. I watched a young girl and an even younger boy (with half-green hair!) come out, each with their moms, and take a photo outside to commemorate the occasion.
