[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, most people are out to some degree. You are an outlier.[/quote] +1 If you have immunocompromised children, that's one thing. Or a newborn. But otherwise, if your family is fully vaccinated except for (mostly) healthy children under 12, there is really no reason to continue a lockdown. I can understand avoiding huge crowds, like at theme parks, or international travel, or places that were already germ factories, like Chuck E. Cheese. And if the mask doesn't bother you and you want to stick with that, sure. I can even understand some hesitancy with air travel. But if you live in the DMV, being unwilling to go on a driving vacation a state or two away, or have your (vaccinated) parents in your house, or go out to dinner, or let your kids play indoors with their friends, or go to a museum, definitely makes you an outlier, and that is not science based. Community spread in this area is nearly non-existent, and the risks to both unvaccinated, generally healthy little kids and vaccinated adults is very, very low. If you're easing in and just a little nervous, I can understand that, it's been a stressful year for a lot of people, there's some trauma and fear, you don't have to go from zero to sixty all in one day. But if you're still totally on lockdown, and I say this as nicely as possible, it might be time to talk to a professional, as your reaction is not proportional to the risk. At this point, you're at the risk-evaluative level of being unwilling to drive or leave your house after dark or have a conversation with a stranger in the Before Times - ie, you're letting your fears run your decision making in an unhealthy way, and if I was a close friend or relative, I'd be really worried about your mental health. --Someone who was VERY covid cautious until this spring[/quote] You sound like a very patronising person. No where did I detect any anxiety or fear-mongering in OP's 1 line post yet here you are tutoring her on her next steps. Maybe you need to justify your actions to yourself. [/quote]
