A word about spending time with your friends and family who are "being careful". They are not being careful. Literally everyone says they are, but then you find out what their idea of careful is. We know and love people who have done the following, in Texas, during peak:
One went on a mini break with non household family. They ate at restaurants and shared jet skis.
One goes to ceramics class. Where she says they sit at least six feet apart and wear masks.
Two carpooled with a friend to the funeral of another friend THAT DIED OF COVID.

I understand that the reality of this disease, its exponential spread, the long term effects...These things are hard to get our heads around. Because no one has experienced these exact circumstances before.
And we are not without our own risk. I do the farmers market every week. We make deliveries. We are going to see non household family tomorrow, outdoors and distanced.
All this is just to say that only you can protect you. Which...sucks.

Don't feel bad about saying no to people whose risk tolerance is greater than your own.
And don't push on people whose tolerance is less.
But also, maybe don't take anyone's word about what that tolerance is. Only you can protect you. And it sucks.
Have a great week!
