[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are struggling with how much risk is too much.  We're basically at home -- working, home schooling, ordering groceries, etc.  We wear a mask when inside but not outside (walking the dog, hiking, biking).

Our mental health is at play here so we've started doing some "play dates"-- a socially distant, outside moms happy hour,  kids play dates in the backyard.  The adults stay 6-feet apart but the kids don't.   I feel OK about that part at the time and regret it after.

But I know we can't truly self-isolate until there's a vaccine...we need to be around people.

100% Early on I made a decision that mine, my partner's and my 3 kids mental health would be more at risk with the isolation than the virus itself. (Mental illness background). So, kids have been playing, outside, mostly riding bikes, with other kids for some time now.

The world is full os risks, and eveyday we choose to engage in low risk activities, knowing that there's still a risk, but it's very low.
