I resort to the stairs for all 5 floors. Usually, if someone else is getting on the elevator at the first floor when I am ready to get on, I stay behind and take it after they get to their floor. If I'm on the way to the 5th floor and someone gets on at the 3rd floor, I get off and take the stairs the rest of the way
What annoys me is that people don't wear masks in the halls and the elevator. Only some of them are vaccinated.

I'm grateful that I can do it at an age when some people are dependent on walkers or wheelchairs. I am fortunate.
