Just had a conversation with my brother about Covid stuff and the stupidity of people. What we're observing is proof that it doesn't matter if the virus is in your community, people still do REALLY stupid shit. My brother told me that a hs friend of his just lost his father to Covid. His father was in the hospital for a month. At some point, the family...

were given the ok to unquarantine. The friend went on a date with a girl from QUEENS and the sister of the friend regularly goes for walks outside with a neighborhood friend. I just can't wrap my head around this shit.

And here I am feeling guilty for occasionally going to the store more than once in a week

And in the meantime, a lot of his hs buddies are meeting up in parks (which are supposed to be closed!) and hanging out there "socially distanced".

That really is pretty stupid. I've been limiting my grocery trips to every other week and still feel even that may be too often. It really isn't but I still feel both a little guilty and worried each and every time.

Suze : I've read that every other week is the suggested amount, you're doing well! I need to get better with my trips. Maybe if people aren't idiots and we can keep parks open and stuff, I might get out more often and not use shopping as an excuse

Yeah, someone we've had staying with us since before all this, is 'essential' and works at the local convience store - and he gets real salty because we've herds of young dudes who just hang out at the gas pumps.... o.o

And my trip to the grocery store almost caused a panic attack because while some people were being careful, not everyone was.
