Digested week: I'm taking tentative, post-vaccine first steps in a changed New York | Emma Brockes

A first trip to a restaurant is bliss. But reopening has brought new tensions too

It's a weird time in the life of the pandemic as the vaccinated, half-vaccinated and yet to be vaccinated venture out and tentatively try to co-mingle. I'm half done, shortly to be full, on the basis of which, in a moment of rashness, I promised to take my children to a water park in New Jersey on spring break. Too late now, but it's something which, on reflection, it might have been worth living without antibodies for a few more months to avoid.
