Resuming Rving... ideas dealing with Covid.

The OP has underlying health issues making for a difficult time if he gets it. We on the other hand do not and have not stopped living life. Fortunately our area has only killed a few restaurants, most other businesses haven’t slowed down and our schools have been open for in person learning (if desired) since September. We had no mask 14 family member, super spreader events at Labor Day, Thanksgiving, & Christmas without anyone getting sick.

Depending on where you live and your health condition you can let this thing limit what you do or not. We chose not and went West on short notice this past summer for 6 weeks and currently in SE Florida limiting our going out to eat to only 2-3 times a week. Have booked 2 cruises in October which hopefully will not get canceled.

Contrary to a previous post, there are 22 states with a higher death rate than Georgia which hasn’t shut down and 26 worst than Florida that is open too. The worst states have 250+ deaths/100K while FL has 148 as of 3/8/2021.

Indeed, our genetic curse.

And yes, we have attempted to not stop RVing.

In fact, in the height of the pandemic, we had a camping trip to Lassen Volcanic National Park on the thought that California has a very strict mask and social distancing mandates.

But it seems "strict" is nothing to the reckless, thoughtless and functional illiterate. Despite the bold letters ubiquitous bulletins and reminders from Park Rangers, not a few visitors continue to ignore it.

A group without mask even tauntingly milled around a masked senior couple, a woman in wheelchair, and you can see in their faces that they are worried and scared and can't move fast enough to be out of there. It must have so discouraged them that they did not bother to check in, just boarded their van and exited the park.
