Am I the only person still not doing public places or travel

We did do a beach house early in June. Now it’s so hot unless you are going way up north. I am just surprised that those with under 12 go to universal or museums or dine indoors. No judgment either way. This was just sharing.


You definitely do not have zero anxiety issues.

We aren't doing indoor dining or socializing yet, and not traveling by plane.

Still supporting local businesses/restaurants and still feeling safe, win win for me.

I do grocery shopping, always have, with a mask of course, but I still wipe everything down before putting it in the fridge. If it's juice that can be stored in our basement for a week or so, I let it quarantine there.

Travel? We got invited to a couple of destination weddings, and I'm not going to lie, I am itching to go to one of them. I've pretty much done all the research for flights and their cancellation policies in case we get cold fee. I'm cool with not traveling internationally until next year, but a few days in Barcelona or Riviera Maya would be nice.


Ya no thanks.
Pre-covid we rarely did takeout. My opinion on takeout has always been that if I am paying for restaurant food I want someone else to serve me and clean up the mess. If I am paying for restaurant food i am alos not going to reheat it when I get home.

I should have been more specific...by takeout, for the most part its been pizza, Chipotle, Chik-Fil A etc. I'm not going to a restaurant to order a steak and then take it home. For that I'd rather go to the supermarket, get my own cut and cook it myself lol.

My boomer parents in their mid 70s spent all of February in the Bahamas with their best friends, another boomer couple. They went to Costa Rica for two weeks in May for a birdwatching tour. We're all going away together up to New England for all of August. They're going out West in October. We're still debating whether we want to risk planning a Christmas trip to Europe.

Everyone my generation I know is doing mostly domestic trips but are gearing up for overseas travel in 2022. If you're deliberately not traveling due to COVID you do have anxiety issues and using your children as an excuse.

Honestly, Europe is glorious this summer with all the Americans at home. We have walked into restaurants that normally have long waits whenever we want. It’s glorious. Trying to enjoy before the crowds return!

We're all vaccinated in my family, and life is back to normal here.

We haven't traveled internationally, because I don't want to risk getting stuck overseas with a positive test for an asymptomatic infection.

If you're still wiping down your groceries, you are anti-science. There's no other way to describe it.

I live in the midwest now. If I didn't know there were DC-area people living like this I would think it was a troll post. This is just SO, SO different than the way we have been living since last May -- hard to imagine the PTSD that must be rampant there now! It's frankly shocking.

Someone needs to make a reality TV show about people like this (except they'd never let the cameras near them!). It's like the COVID version of Hoarders.

We are meeting with/eating with other vaccinated people, but mostly outdoors (exception would be driving in the same car).

I won't eat in a restaurant, because masks cannot be worn and I assume that some are not vaccinated.

Still wearing masks in all stores.

I am vaccinated, but that is not 100%...and wearing a mask is not that hard.

Whole family is vaccinated. We are doing everything now. There is no basis to do otherwise. Now the fall could bring some issues and masks may come back, indoors at least. But the office world will be back to normal within 2-3 months. Most will have no choice.

My friends and family are back to living life.

I am leaving on vacation in 3 days. I eat out and shop now.

So many of you won’t travel in planes or do indoor dining or go to watch movies yet others who want to avoid public places like that have issues and anxieties.

Why? This whole thread is amazing. We as a society are so ingrained into meddling and having opinions of other people's business, its unreal. If someone doesn't want to go out because they still have the Covid shock, or b/c I'm wiping down my groceries, it's how I want to do things and it's how that person wants to live. To say I'm anti-science when I've followed literally everything to a tee just because I wipe down a gallon of milk with a lysol wipe is ridiculous lol. I'm comfortable doing it, it doesn't bother me, it takes 2 seconds. It's habit at this point. It's not anxiety, it's not "issues" I have, its just an extra step that I do and have been doing for the last 16 months.
