At the outset of the pandemic last year, two of Ruth Horry's three children got sick with Covid - one of them, just 5, frighteningly so, with a fever that raged for days and required hospitalization. "It got to the point where she was at 105 and shaking and we couldn't even get in a cab,"Ms. Horry told me. "They wouldn't take us. She was coughing and people were scared; this was a time when everyone was basically wearing garbage bags."
When vaccines became available, Ms. Horry got her shot despite considerable anxiety. "When I went and got mine, I cried in the chair because I was so scared," she said.
