I truly don’t understand this sentiment. Risk isn’t all or nothing, and we all make choices about the risks we are willing to take.

Our family is trying to be guided by the science, which says that outdoors is better than indoors, that indoor with windows open and masks on for limited periods is best if you have to be with people from outside your household. If you have to take risks in certain areas, you should limit risks as much as possible in other areas.

The riskiest thing I do is grocery shop in person; I wear the best quality mask I have and limit my time in the store. I run quick errands to the drug store and to pick up take out food from restaurants. We see grandparents and friends occasionally, outside and masked and distanced. Our kids see friends outside and masked and distanced. We aren’t having indoor social gatherings, period: adult, kid, or family. This works for us and feels like a reasonable risk balance.

Why is it so hard to fathom?
