I appreciate that you are trying to be helpful with this comment, but you're essentially parroting the same line that happy families have been doing for a year now.
"For example, we have two families that we're co-sheltering with"
Right, so you're not alone, and these rules don't result in you having 0 social interaction most days.
If I hadn't had the in-person, real contact that I do with friends and family, breaking so-called "rules" to do so, I would have gone postal. Full psychotic break. I was very close, and I am still very close.
> you've expressed a preference for putting others at risk
I don't have a preference for putting others at risk at all; I don't think you realise how offensive a statement that is.
Coronavirus is not the only thing that exists in the universe; for you it may be the #1 most important factor because your other needs are taken care of, that's fine, it's not for everyone.
These policies put me at risk. Telling me to look at screens as a substitute for human interaction puts me at risk. Not just me, but my friends and family, a year in everyone is going mental.
I am preventing myself from losing control of my mind, which would put myself and others at far more risk than even SARS 1 would have.
- CharlesW 6y agoI'm sorry that that remote socialization doesn't provide any sort of respite for you. I can imagine (but can't truly appreciate) how much harder that would make this pandemic. I'm happy that you have at least some in-person contact with friends and family, and hope you can keep doing that. Best of luck, friend!
