Honestly, having been quarantined since beginning of March due to my fiance getting sick from what we suspect was COVID, in getting tired of this.

I’ve come to the realization that extreme attempts to slow the curve are just prolonging herd immunity. I earnestly believe that the reason for the lockdown had 3 reasons.
  1. Italy outbreak was horrible, mainly since China ensured the area got infected, and Italy Healthcare system already ducks. But we think it shouldn’t because its a developed country. Therefore, we started panicing that this disease could actually be a bioweapo of sorts.
  2. It’s election year. Democrats have no chance of winning with Biden. Everyone knows that. Lock everyone inside, force mail in voting, blame everything on orange man bad. Use mail in voting to commit widespread voter fraud, while actual voters might buy the rhetoric of orange man bad and blame him for the perpetual lockdown.
  3. Some politicians heard the horror stories being perpetuated by the above 2 narratives and tried to be prudent by shutting down economies.
I’ll continue to follow the flu season recommendations with following the orders of my Diocese.
 
As far as personal steps I’m taking. Masking in public, and then basically what my mom has said since I was a kid. “Keep up your nutrition, wash your hands, don’t pick your nose.”
 
Avoiding other people - I think that’s the best thing to do. Staying inside as much as I can. If I see a pedestrian approaching on the sidewalk, I cross the street or walk in the street and leave the sidewalk for him or her. It’s become second nature at this point.
 
Do what is mandate: stay at home, and try to be careful when we had to go outside…
And isolated our groceries for afew hours after coming back home (except the products that need to be refregirated).
 
You said, “but never mind she could give it to someone who is wearing a mask.” which implies that even though you are wearing a mask, it is not effective. Therefore, if wearing a mask is not effective from getting the virus, then it makes no difference whether you wear a mask or not, because it will not stop you from getting the virus.

You may need to clarify what you said, because that is what it implies.

I was referring to my sister who has the attitude that she is not concerned about getting it, and in having that attitude, she is not considerate of others who she could give it to if she has the virus.

From what I understand, masking reduces the chance of spreading it to others, but it is not 100 percent effective, and it is not known how effective it is.

So much of the information we are getting is questionable as far as accuracy. The contagion probability chart, for example, is not necessarily accurate, and it is on the wall where I work as though it is correct information.
 
I went out today to try and ship stuff at the UPS store down the street. There was a line down the block so I turned around and decided to try again first thing in the morning. Went to the wine store and it was chill. I’m starting to be less afraid of going out here in Brooklyn. It’s a beautiful day and the sunshine was worth the fear. I’m still wearing a mask and being cautious but feeling way more at ease.
