I think its because the variant is more catchable by a huge fraction but the symptoms are way less severe so that is the plus to it. And thank goodness the quarantine is less. I think I would struggle staying at home, my work offers it but doesn't enforce it. Hopefully it doesn't get too bad here. Stay safe and healthy darling.

Or people who do a home test which isn't reported anywhere. I'm happy to stay home. It's been 35-55 here for the high which is a little cool but not bad unless the wind picks up. Thanks for the Emily Bites recommendation.

Not just cloth anymore. My hospital has made the booster shot mandatory as well. It's been in the 50s and 60s here in Southern California, definitely cold for us and we got a ton of rain last month. I wouldn't be pleased with 80 degree weather, but preferable Sam and Greg's above! <br /><br />That casserole looks delicious. I'll grab the recipe.
