It's nothing to be afraid of. It's like you don't walk out the door in a spacecraft of a space habitat without a space suit.

- Volundr 6y agoI don't think it's nearly that easy. I find myself constantly struggling with the balance between proper precaution and not completely shutting down my life. Do I invite friends for a nice socially distanced lunch in the park? Maybe or do that quick trip to Home Depot to get supplies for my projects at home. That feels easy to justify, one quick trip and these projects could keep me busy for weeks. But is it easy to justify because I WANT to do it, or because it's actually a good idea. It's always easy to rationalize something you want, and often hard to know your doing it. Sure, my trip to Home Depot is probably fine. I'm probably healthy, and wouldn't pick up anything on the outing, but on the other hand it's optional, and what if I picked up Covid on my last trip to the grocery store, and wind up passing it on to some 70 year old who HAS to go to Home Depot because their toilet broke. It's a hard line to know what is the proper amount of caution. At least for me. Very much unlike walking out a space station airlock, where the proper precaution is very clear.
