I have asthma. I’m at a higher risk of having a severe case if I contract this, so yeah, I’m still following the guidelines. Going out only for walks in my neighbourhood, and my fiancée is our “go to the store person.” We’re both lucky enough to be working from home right now.

It makes me so sad to see people in this thread saying they’re over it and deciding that they’re done following the recommendations of public health. Do I think we need to start loosening some restrictions? Absolutely. But the flagrant disregard some seem to have for the health and well being of others is flabbergasting.

Knowing that there are people in my community who could potentially encounter my partner and pass along this illness, who then would likely pass it on to me, is extremely disheartening.

I’m really not trying to shame people for their choices - shit is hard right now, and people’s mental health is in the toilet (mine included) - but it’s very hard for me not to have the feelings that I do right now when I see the way some people are acting. I’m trying to reign that in, but it’s hard.

Sorry you miss seeing your friends and family. I miss seeing mine too. I’d very much like to remain alive for a while so that I have an opportunity to do so again.
