Just when I was starting to get over some anxiety with this whole covid situation, the omicron variant hits. I've still been cautious. Wearing a mask in public, not going out to eat or to the movies, and just trying to be pretty careful overall. But after the vaccine I had done a bit more things than I did in 2020. I even have the 3rd shot now. But now there are so many reports of breakthrough cases. In people double and triple vaxxed. The cases still seem to be mild in those people, but a lot are still getting it. I know it's still good to get the vaccine, and that it helps prevent hospitalization for most people. I'm upset that so many people haven't gotten it that could have, and that's what's allowed this to mutate so much. The anxiety is starting to come back, and when I was finally bettering myself. It's not so much that I'm worried about myself getting it (though that is also part of it), I just don't want to give it to my mom. Especially after she was in the hospital with covid over last Christmas. This variant seems almost like it'll be inevitable before people catch it. I just hope that the vaccine keeps her immune system strong enough this time, and that the fact she pulled through last time means it won't get worse than that.
Sorry this post is long and rambly but my mind is a mess lately.
