@Chopsticks - I don’t think it’s about people not caring... I think it’s more of people thinking they are feeling controlled at this point and not understanding. I think location has a big impact, what you or anyone else has seen with their own eyes and most importantly the type of impact it has had on a person or their family & friends.
I can’t imagine working with high end clients like that, obv. it’s not your fault and I’m surprised they don’t understand that... you must have a lot of patience. Honestly, where I’m from I’m seeing both sides. Actually my 8yr anniversary is coming up and our tradition has always been to take a vacation, but we are not this year. We normally go down south for the warm weather and to visit family but my father-in-law (who’s in a nursing home) has had the virus. He has Dementia and they turned his home into a facility, he showed no symptoms but tested positive. It was scary to wait for calls everyday to find out how he was doing, but he made it thru is has been moved to a different side of the facility.
At the same time I know many people who haven’t known anyone to have it. Who’ve been working thru non-healthcare industries and don’t see it. I went to a drive by baby shower this past weekend and half of the family wore no masks & trying to be normal while others just came for few mins with a mask and left. It’s a hard balance.
No fear to admit I’m from MA, it was pretty bad here for a long time but we buckled down - hard. Now, We are about to start phase 3 openings Monday (gyms, movie theaters etc.) and while in the beginning I thought my Gov. was being too hard, turns out it’s been working. We had 0 cases reported few days ago and we’ve been seeing about 1-2% of new cases compared to April. Everyone wants to say this isn’t a “new normal” but it is. A few times myself have been in a rush and forgot my mask only to run back to my car to grab it. It’s going to be hard but as long as everyone TRIES and makes an effort we can do this. We need more positivity. This is a virus that’s not going to go away, I believe it’s going to be similar/worse than the flu. Something we will have to learn to live with. Everyone is bent against the “new normal” but I’m fact that IS what it is in my eyes. Stay strong, and just wish your clients safe travels.
