One thing we FReepers can do for our nation is remain sane. I think it is mostly leftists who are giving in to the paranoia and complying with the soul destroying aspects of the lockdown. Let’s not do that. May the sane run the asylum.
Too many people are sacrificing mental health over physical health due to the fear porn.
I was on a work related Zoom that was so awful due to depressing attitudes and the occasional moral superiority for being that depressed. Wouldn’t be surprised if at least one person doesn’t come back to work in the end due to alcoholism or paranoia.
I’ve been on a real vacay (safely). That gave me such a boost I can’t explain it and hope to go again in April. I get out with a friend once a week. I get outside everyday even if it’s a walk to the corner. I usually can encounter 3 or 4 people, smile and say hello. It makes a difference! I exercise everyday. I go to church. I visit select family. I have been to a party or two.
I do avoid Wal-mart (LOL).
When I get judged over my “risky” behavior, I say, “This week it was worth the physical health risk to maintain my mental health.” Sadly, most people still think they are doing better than me by sitting on their sofa binge watching shows and eating contact free carry out.
