[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't seen a single friend since last March.  We're in the home stretch before full vaccine availability and I'm not about to blow it now just to do something dumb.[/quote]

Truly, how is this possible?!?!?

I have not been inside anyone's home, eaten in a restaurant, or done any indoor activity like bowling, movie, etc. I have been SO careful. BUT I have seen a ton of my friends outside! How can you literally have gone this long without seeing someone? Do you literally not set foot outside?[/quote]

DP: Why is it so hard for you to imagine that people have decided among themselves not to plan meetups?  I have managed this — with a very small number of exceptions— because I don’t want an interaction with me to be the reason that a good friend’s elderly Mom dies.  It hasn’t been easy.  But you and I clearly have different standards for what “SO careful “ means. FWIW, I literally set foot outside almost every day.

For context:  I have spent time in ICUs with people I love.  If my being stir crazy has even a tiny chance of sparing someone I love, or even someone I’ve never met, from that, I’m comfortable with my choice. Once larger numbers of people, including me, are vaccinated, we will all have more and safer options.  I can wait.  [/quote]
