So Long, Its Been Good to Know You

 I know a woman a bit older than I am, in her 70s who is a self proclaimed "old hippy."  She is in pretty good health.  She lives alone.  She is very opposed to the COVID vaccine.  She has been isolating for the entire pandemic.  She wears a mask when in public.  She has been safe thus far.

But, I wonder what the end game is for her?  At some point it is hoped that the virus will become endemic instead of pandemic.  But, that still leaves her in the same place she was at the start of the pandemic.  There is a disease out there for which she has no immunity.  She is in one of the major groups that is severely effected by the virus due to her age and lack of exposure. Will she isolate for the rest of her life?  Will she wear a mask for the rest of her life?

Will she get the virus and die?  I really like this woman.  I worry for her.  I pray for her.
