Covid-19 has been part of our lives for more than two years. Since March of 2020, we have become accustomed to wearing masks, minimizing socializing, leaving our homes, and making sure that we get our vaccines.
Last week, Florida Judge Kathryn Mizelle (who was nominated by he who shall not be named, FYI) struck down the federal mask mandate on airplanes and other public transportation. While it was music to the ears of airplane passengers, it also created confusion among the local municipalities in and nearby New York City. Adding to the confusion is that the number of cases are again rising.
I know that we are all sick of this virus. With the warmer weather on the horizon, the urge to fling off all Covid-related restrictions and just pretend as if the last two-plus years have not happened. But my gut tells me that we cannot. Though the vaccines have allowed us to relax, we must remain ever vigilant. The chances of another wave is not out of the question. Until this virus has completely disappeared, the need for keeping the emergency light on will continue.
