If it were up to you, would COVID-19 precautions be part of your life today?

If anyone here is staying locked in their home then they can feel free to ask for that option and I'll gladly add it

No worries, I got this

They're not? I thought I noticed a couple of ppl on here that I would think they would voluntarily lock themselves up. Especially if its for the greater good  .

I would stay home for months and only venture in public with a N95 if I knew it would save lives. I did that for months pesach time, until I got a positive antibody test in late June. I am in the almost non-existent risk category, and my family members are pretty low risk. Not everything is about me. There are things worth sacrificing personal comfort for, in my opinion, and saving lives is one of those things.

The poll asked about today, not Pesach time. Back then everyone or at least most people were very cautious. I was locked up from shortly after Purim until well after Shavuos. No minyan ever. Groceries delivered. All purchases needed placed online and delivered to our door. Almost total seclusion even though we are all very low or no risk. Back then was very different, it was horrifying what was going on.

Today its a completely different story. Its a very far cry to what it was given that the treatments have improved so much and countless lives are being saved. Even 1 death is 1 too many but there is no comparison from 10-20 ppl dying daily in NYS to the between 800-1000 that died back then.

I think people miss that there are those who aren't locked up, but only go out when necessary, or to places where there are little-to-no people.

I hear. I wanted to keep the poll pretty simple as having 10 categories with only a few votes in each one makes it difficult to understand the results, so I tried to capture alot in 3-4 options....

But on second thought, isn't that very similar to the last option that jj added?

I'm not saying to add an option, as it does fall under JJ's option. I'm just saying that the image people have in their mind, such as @iluv2travel's description of his personal experience from earlier in the year, is not the only version of that option.

No and it shouldn't be, especially at the point we've gotten to.

My description was specifically responding to that post quoted which similarly described being locked up over Pesach time.

I know, and I wasn't calling you out.

Well, that's a surprise!  It's not just me!

We need the ability to choose multiple answers. I would go with both "No. I'd be going about my daily life exactly as I did in 2019." and "I stay home or make as minimal contact with the outside world as possible"
