Missing the Summer

I have just seen the news and they are saying that restrictions of movements will be active even during Summer. 
I immediately start to have a feeling of sadness and melancholy. I love the Summer and the beach and now I miss even more the long summer days, the smell of the sea, the walks on the beach and the warmth of the sun on my skin. The nearest beach is about 1 hour (a little bit more) driving, it is not my favorite one but it is better than nothing, and now I don't even know if we will be allowed to go there.
I hope they are wrong and my country, and the all world, situation will be much better by the summer.
Do you miss the summer?

I just miss being outside, and being around people. I will be happy when this is all over and we can get outside and enjoy the warm sunshine and fresh air again!
We have to be careful, because without a vaccine in place yet, there could be another wave of infections next fall and winter. So even if we can go outside in the summer, we still need to be very careful.

@nela13 I'm wondering what the re-infection rate is going to be on this virus? For those that showed no symptoms, or only mild symptoms, are they susceptible to getting the virus again?

@moffittjc yes, there are already cases of re-infection, but I don't know they only have mild symptoms.

Don't be too pessimistic. I think things may be better than expected.

@nela13 We've been restricted for two months. Staying at home is by far the safest.Now we're back to normal together.

@caopaopao is everything going back to the normal situation in your place? Where are you from?

@nela13 here, no need to cancel because it is not allowed to travel. By the way, we have a trip to Seoul, South Korea in October. I hope the situation will be normal by then.

I prefer Spring over Fall but I do enjoy warm summers (not too hot).
