Who's Eating In Restaurants And Who's Not? (Loveland, Ovid: hotel, house)

[BabyBoomers2]

My wife has now got both of her Covid 19 vaccines (Pfizer) and I'm scheduled for my #2 Moderna this coming Saturday here in Loveland. Well, that is if we aren't having a blizzard or heavy snowstorm going on.

We will wait until about the middle of April before attempting to eat inside a restaurant. Until then, it's still Take Out and eating at home.

Same here, had our second round of the Pfizer on 23 Feb and have our first appointments for haircuts on 16 March. I've been cutting my own hair and it looks okay . . . at a distance . . .

Got my J&J shot today.
We haven’t stopped going to restaurants throughout the pandemic, but we always sat outside or in a private hut, bubble or shelter of some sort. I think we’ll continue to do so. At least for awhile. Travel by plane is the next hurdle for us.

Well, my #2 vaccine has been rescheduled for the 20th at the Loveland VA Clinic. Got my first one there as well. I'm very glad cause I didn't want to go out in nearly blizzard conditions (if that happens) on Saturday.

We haven't ate either inside or outside at a restaurant since my SIL visited us last Fall. At that time, she insisted on us going out to breakfast with her at IHOP and ate inside. 100% "distancing" done then by the restaurant. Wore mask going in, took off for breakfast, and wore out. Since then, only "take-out" for us. With us being in our early 70's, and Diabetic II, we didn't want to take any kind of chance eating inside.

Currently, we are planning a trip to Dodge City, Kansas this coming August. We've never been there and are big fans of the tv show Gunsmoke. Plus, there's a casino and a nice PRCA rodeo going on when we are there. Car rental and hotel room already reserved, but will have to see what happens.

We both have had the Covid 19 vaccines now and are 2+weeks since getting the #2 one. Will wait a few more weeks before heading to Golden Corral Buffet for dinner. Still have my 2020 Veterans Days Free Meal card to use. It will expire the end of May.

Still keeping our travel (driving) plans for Dodge City, Kansas this coming August. But, just depends on how things go. IOW, may or may not go.

I've been eating in a couple of distanced restaurants since they re-opened. No change since getting fully vaccinated, but feel safer when I do so. No crowding and only getting takeout from the very small restaurant I want to support.

I have done pickup at a few places in the last 12 months. Still have not actually gone out to eat

I visited a restaurant in January when the restaurants were at 25% indoor capacity and it was fine, though I had to give my name to the host, I guess to comply with guidelines in Larimer County in the case of an outbreak.

I’ve also started dining out a bit more often recently and haven’t had any issues, nor have I gotten sick. The restaurants seem to be doing a good job complying with state and local guidelines. I’m comfortable with doing it, but I’m also in a low risk category for Covid.

Reasons we've only ate inside once, in the last year, is because we are in our early 70's and both Diabetic II. We chose to be as cautious as we could be.

Well, we finally ate inside at a restaurant. It was Golden Corral Buffet, here in Loveland, last Saturday. Last time we ate inside a restaurant, was when my SIL (wife's sister), stopped here last Sept. 2020 to see us for a couple of days.

It was quite interesting, being that I did see a couple of people come in not wearing a mask and both the Asst. Manager and Manager told them they needed a mask on to stay. One borrowed a mask and the other took it out of his pocket and put on.

Took our masks off after we sat at the table. We wear two, a cloth one and a regular one under it. Put the masks back on when we went to the buffet to get food. Had a nice, and pretty much delicious, dinner. Put our masks back on when we left.

IOW, it was GREAT to finally go to a restaurant and not get "take-out"! Both of us are doing fine..........health wise.
