So here we are, life after lockdowns. It seems so weird that on New Year’s Eve 2019, I watched some news coming out of China via an Asian news channel that was talking about a mysterious respiratory virus that was causing some concern there.

After a long time managing to avoid it, both adults being fully vaccinated, the teenager with one vaccine on board, the boy not eligible yet, Covid found us and invaded.
