So now we're trying to shame people for being cautious regarding a deadly virus? Nice. Classy too.

Well at some point you have to get on with your life, unless you plan on hiding in your house for years.

When has that happened yet?

I've added links over the past few weeks, here and in the RI forum, and it's hard to miss when you actually read the local news. With cases skyrocketing after the holidays, things will of course get much worse - it takes time from testing positive to being hospitalized.

It just seems like rach5 is the voice of despair with this virus and has been since it began. I’m fine with caution but with how she acts here I truly wondered if she left the house often it sees anyone.

There is truly a huge diversity of responses. I look forward to the sociological papers in in few years looking back at the breakdowns of the demographics of those responses. (I hypothesize its mostly hardcore introverts and/or those with robust biological families that are with a$$ets that are on the shut down interacting extreme.)

I, personally, have a bit of a mindset that hey, I have to go to work every day, but bleep a life where I get to go to work but heeeeeyyy no fun is allowed for years.

Everyone, as always, does their own cost benefit equations internally. That's only natural.

Most people can't stay home. More won't. If I don't work I can't live. I have no slush fund. No family money. No patrons.

If anyone delved into history they'd realize that war, famine, plague... never ever stopped people from dating, having children, living, socializing. It looked different for a blip, but that is all.
