In reply to the discussion: Super Covid is Here, and You Should Be Very Worried [View all]The empressof all
(29,098 posts)Since early March, I have only been out for short rides and for a Dr.s visit. I am fortunate that my husband has been able to teach from home and is willing to go along with what some may see as overly strident safety protocols. My adult daughter will do occasional shopping for things I can't get delivered and we visit out side from a distance. I'm naturally introverted so I don't really miss in person social interaction. It's been harder for my husband but he walks the dog every day and visits with neighbors outside and he is always masked and keeps a good distance.
I am not scared because I choose not to indulge in risky behaviors. I know I am doing everything I can to stay safe and protect myself and others. I would be extremely anxious to do otherwise. I know when I went to the lab for a blood draw, five people came in for Covid testing. Yes we were all masked and I was across the room, but I heard what they were there for. I counted down the 14 days afterwards until I once again felt secure that I wasn't infected.
