this may be a dumb question, but what are we trying to accomplish? Are we all bubbling up, wearing masks, etc. to actually try to completely prevent catching covid19 ever? When this started in March, all the messaging I saw was about 'flattening the curve' so that we don't all catch it at the same time and overwhelm the hospitals. My understanding of a highly contagious coronavirus like this is that a pretty sizable percentage of the population will get it eventually despite our best efforts to mask up, etc.. For instance, we don't try to eliminate the common cold because we know it can't be done, we just try our best to not get sick but acknowledge that eventually we'll get one (I know covid is way more lethal, but in terms of infectiousness I think it's a fairly apt comparison). When looked at from this angle, maybe it's a bit more acceptable to bubble up and distance more 'loosely' (as it's still better than a free-for-all where no one has masks on, with no bubble, but a little less oppressive than the all-mask-all-the-time social circle of 1 approach). Wasn't the messaging at one point that no large groups were allowed, and told to restrict social settings to 10 ppl or less? When did that become no social interactions with others in closed settings at all? I'm as stressed about this pandemic as most, but I sometimes wonder if I'm being completely overkill at times (and if others are too). perhaps I'm not well-informed of the latest, so by all means, if anyone sees this who is, tell me what's up!
