Haha I've had this conversation with my wife as well. We've basically been under house arrest since early February 2020 (yes we quarantined even before there was a quarantine) and taking very conservative measures since, always 1 step ahead of the CDC the whole time with double masking and still masking when mandates were lifted here in Oregon because we knew there would be an immediate re-surge.
I told my wife I used to think we'd be one of the first to die in the Zombie Apocalypse because her and my kids are all high-anxiety people that typically crumble with too much psychological pressure. Yet covid has shown me we'd actually be one of the longest survivors given our resilience so far and how we haven't caved into the pressures of society itching to get back to normal. My dad - a self-proclaimed "survivalist" and doomsday prepper didn't make it even two months before he gave up on quarantining. He said the psychological stress was too much, he couldn't handle it lol
- mixmastamyk 5y agoUnless you have significant risk factors, this is unnecessary. Most people don't and/or took care of business.

- oblio 5y agoBased on the photos I can find of BSL-3 suits, I highly doubt that others on the street or in stores would let them "get on with their lives" :-))
- unabirra 5y agoYou survived because... most people (>99% of infected individuals) survive Covid? lol. If this was your end of the world scenario (people dining everywhere because you know... if you sit the virus goes past you) then you are up for a rude awakening if a real crisis ever arises (which I hope it doesn't)
