If I use that metric I'm never ever gonna feel safe from Covid! Best I stick to car crashes, no?
No, I don't think for a second I'd continue my lifestyle unless the evidence justified it.
I'm always looking for evidence making it safe to abandon my extreme approach but so far I haven't found it.
The thing is, I don't feel like I'm making any sacrifices to live how I'm living — with the exception of not seeing my family in person (FaceTime isn't a substitute).
You called it: I'm basically an introvert, happiest sitting quietly with my cat on my lap reading.
This has always been the case my entire life, for many decades before Covid.
I'm totally fine with others who don't isolate, whether or not they have kids.
I find no fault with anyone's approach/behavior, but I must say every time I see a picture of an crowded airport, as happened with the Southwest Airlines debacle, I marvel at the way almost all people don't give any thought to Covid.
I appreciate your answers.
I admit to being one of those that really doesn't give much thought to COVID but I think it's due to having school age kids. During the year long initial isolation phase my kids didn't do well so now they are in school and back to normal. With that said they are surrounded by kids coughing and sneezing on each other all day so I see it as an inevitably so don't worry about it. We all got COVID about 8 months ago and thankfully all recovered pretty quickly. Symptoms were equivalent to the flu but I know these vary from person to person.
All the best and I hope we hit your metric sooner than later. Good luck at your race!
