I'm sad and angry. This is my story...
One of my cousins isn't vaccinated and has ended up with a mild case of Covid. Now the Christmas plans are derailed, we won't be able to gather with them. My brother gave a ride to my cousins the other day and is a possible carrier.
And guess who else has been exposed to my brother ever since? -yes myself-. I might have to quarantine and might not be able to spend Christmas with my parents or anybody while at that.
I am vaccinated, but I only got one of these Chinese one dose shots, which give like 60% protection and have a limited response after six months -I wanted a two shot vaccine, but that is the one I was given. I could have risked my job if I had rejected it to wait for a better one-. The worst part is I could have avoided getting exposed to my brother -because I wanted to remain home to help my mother with all of the cooking-, but he really needed me to do him a favor and all but dragged me along.
(Did I mention there is a non-zero chance that this could be my Dad's last Christmas? We don't know yet, any official diagnosis will be given to us in January, but it could either be a good prognosis -a surgery and recovery with long time to live- or a very bad one -some months and change-)
