Anyone changing behavior due to the latest uptick in Covid?

We sprayed our groceries with Lysol after the teen delivery driver risked her life by going into the belly of the beast (grocery store) to fetch us our groceries. We let them sit in the garage for 48 hours before bringing them into the house.

If we need to go in public, we carry a measuring tape to make sure we are 6 ft apart from others.

Oh we test hourly for Covid - environment be dammed - you can never be too safe!

Have some respect for the over one million people in the US who died from Covid. Make your own choices but it’s not funny.

Lock us down harder, daddy government!

The government will tell us what to do!

I wouldn’t let him go. And if you absolutely had to, then double mask and warn him to social distance.

Covid is very smart. It only strikes at doctors offices, grocery stores and on the metro! This virus is so smart! What CAN'T it do?

Most Covid is spread in the home, but you do you. Keep masking, at least us normal people know who to avoid in public!

NP- you’re obviously not very smart if you don’t get it. No one said they can only get it in those places. The difference is that if some of us are going to get a virus that could potentially take us out for weeks or longer, we would rather get it from someone we know and care about as opposed to some @sshat stranger on the metro. Also it’s called risk REDUCTION, not taking out risk altogether. Serious idiots on this forum.

Omg these words came out of your mouth and you’re the one calling people idiots?!?

Oh wait. You’re right. The Covid from the people you know and care about is much less severe that the @asshat stranger variant. My bad.

Remember! This COVID virus is quite smart. Not only is it less severe when you get it from a friend or family member (it just KNOWS, ok?!) it also only strikes on planes, the metro, the dr office and the grocery store.

This virus!! What can’t it do?!

I’m so glad I recognized this as sarcasm even without the /s. Still - well done!

My son was scheduled to start his freshman year at Harvard several days from now. However, with this uptick in Covid cases, we have decided to homeschool him. We are on lockdown. We rarely leave the house and masks are mandatory both inside and outside of the house. Family dinners are too risky for us as the spread of Covid usually happens in the house. We are terrified of long Covid.

Thank you for being cautious. We can never let our guard up on this deadly disease.

Sounds like you still don’t get it! At all. Do you understand what reduction means or are you a 5 year old?

Risk reduction, moron. Taking precautions in public places and small indoor spaces is just the logical balance of continuing life as usual while reducing the chance of infection. Read that twice if you need to.

These people don’t understand risk reduction - it’s kind of pointless to engage with them but sometimes I get sucked in to the idiocy.

The “risk reduction” justification makes little sense for a virus as contagious as covid. It’s not a matter of if, but when, you get covid. And unless you're willing to take rather extreme measures for a large percentage of your interactions with others, you're not even going to significantly change how often you get infected.
