The family had decided not to get vaccinated in spite of various medical conditions and they all caught it just before Christmas.  The rest of the family recovered.---The  FLGS (mostly MtG) we liked most closed this weekend.  Other things besides the COVID downturn contributed, but that was a big part.  Took my son (masked) to get a few final products. I had restarted MtG there in 2014 after a 16 year break, and was introduced to the Ascension boardgame (and several others) .  Before the pandemic me and my son would play those and Cribbage there.  Lots of good friends made of a few decades different ages.---The rotation of colleagues and students getting it at the University continues.  Masking still required in the University building, but not in the K12 schools, and masking is way down everywhere else.  Omicron apparently appears inevitable to most, and trying not to flood the hospitals isn't getting much play as a reason for precautions.---12 yo has times once in a while of being pretty worried about it.  We explain the risks to him (small) and he's glad he can get his booster next month.  He's one of the few masking at his school, but hasn't been masking at karate (spaced out, high ceiling).---The two online 5e games I'm running continue.  Might not have considered it without COVID.  Works great for my 12yo and friends, and allowed me to meet several out of state people for the other.</blockquote>
