[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone personally know of anyone that got Covid from any of these specific activities?[/quote]

I know someone whose friend got COVID at a gym. We have another friend who we are pretty sure got it getting a pedicure.

My state isn't doing contact tracing so we don't know for sure.

I know people who have driven to fairly remote locations to get away for a couple of days, for hiking trips. They've stayed in Airbnbs, gotten takeout, came back healthy. I feel like if you need a break, that seems reasonably safe.

I've been getting bang trims/dry cuts - they take around 15 minutes - at the salon, instead of a full cut. I'm super super super careful generally, and I feel ok with this. It's for a short time, it's masked.

I am getting plenty of takeout. Zero eating inside restaurants. Haven't eaten outside of a restaurant yet. I would consider it if there were no one else around. But I don't feel ready for that yet. We've had friends in the yard for dinner, but not a lot. I just don't want that to be the thing that gets us sick. Too much at stake.

This is part of why this haphazard, a la carte approach to the pandemic response is so hard, though. We are getting all these conflicting messages about what's safe, what's not, and it's left some of us adopting overly risky behavior, some of us - like me - basically living like a hermit still because I don't feel like I have a great gauge of risk, and all of us just out there trying to be public health experts without having the background to do it.[/quote]
