Watching the hospitalization numbers more closely... pretty much doubled the last three weeks, our R-factor is over 1 (which is long term bad), and it's mostly three counties - Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas, all of them covering various bits of suburbs of Denver.
We video called my parents tonight... there was a frank admission that we're likely only doing virtual holidays this year. We're still personally in station-keeping - no restaurant dining (although takeout and delivery are still options), keeping our non-essential retail store runs to once every couple of months just to try to give support to our local hobby stores. We're NOT getting enough human contact, but that's also not going to change. Going over to video calls helps that a bit, but that's another bandaid on a year that's pretty much made of bandaids now.
