we at least have free stocks of rapid tests, so testing the morning you meet up with vulnerable family etc is not a big deal.

yeah (here in the northeast US) wife & i have been buying rapid tests when we can over the last couple months, not hoarding but trying to make sure we've always got 4 or 5 on hand to test ourselves & others as the need arises. even though theyre not PCR tests, its still been extremely good for general anxiety relief if we're feeling iffy or have been in a questionable situation. highly recommend investing in a few if you can find any around

I'm seeing a lot of "we're all going to get it eventually, so there's no point in attempting to reduce any risk to myself or my contacts whatsoever". which I do understand, but also, there is still value in putting off when you get it, if possible, and especially this close to Christmas. (and many people only newly/ not yet boosted).
Last Christmas I gave you COVID
