[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd avoid you like the plague. An attitude like this marks you as ignorant, selfish and not at all concerned with other people in society.

[quote]They can’t believe so many of my “friends” are content to stay holed up in their houses for the duration of the pandemic. [/quote][/quote]

This is OP. What am I missing? I genuinely don’t get it. [/quote]

Seriously?

The condescending attitude towards those who are taking proper precautions in a pandemic that has killed more than 200,000 of our fellow Americans. WTF is hard to get about that?[/quote]

Some people’s definition of “proper” is over the top. Or at least out of step with CDC guidelines.[/quote]

Ignoring experts is what got us here, but DCUM still wants to ignore experts, invent their own rules, and then shame people for not following pretend rules.  My crowd has been doing outdoor, masked play dates since June. We will have to stop soon when the weather turns cold, probably.  But there are plenty of other people doing this.  God willing, Biden will win and sanity will return soon![/quote]

OP is literally following the rules.

OP - we've been doing just the things you're talking about and I too, have to go into the office a few times a week. I can't believe attempting to stay employed is now equated with "not taking the pandemic seriously."  Other posters have had great suggestions, we found an outdoor soccer class for our kid, and she's in swim once a week (instructors in face shields, reduced class sizes, only one parent in attendance, masks, 6ft apart, etc.) and we've just started doing playgrounds only if there are a small amount of kids there and they're all masked. But we've also done fruit picking, lots of ice cream trips, etc. I'm so sorry you're feeling isolated - this is a really hard time. Try to go easy on yourself and maybe you can turn this thread into some kind of drinking game so it doesn't seem so mean. :) I'm sorry we don't know each other IRL - we could do a socially distant playdate.
