I keep hearing this "it's young people in bars shame on them" story but I'm not buying it as the main cause.
Many people of all ages have gone back to work. They are in offices, retail shops, hair dressers. People are flying - planes are full. People are standing in line to go into Homegood and TJMaxx, queuing up to get samples at costco again.
It's not like everyone is in a bunker doing instacart, except for a bunch of 25 year olds out drinking as the only/main spreaders. But they make a fun scapegoat I guess...
YES, yes, yes. Two stories recently. 2 pharm-D.. in California flew their 2 young sons out of state for a month long stay with Grandparents, one of whom is a bone marrow transplant cancer survivor. Reason given " GP's really wanted to see the boys" Real reason IMO the parents enjoy having a month each summer without kids duties. I know these people personally..
PHd research fellow on East coast coming to home state to see family. Sends parents long list of things they can't do in the 14 days before she flies in,,I.E. do not leave your house.
Will fly through 2 airports on 2 different planes to actually get to parents house.
