Washing your hands every single time you return to the spot you call "Home" & hand sanitizers work like a charm for me. Even at places like 7-11 whom offer them all over their store, i use them when i go in and again before i leave. Simple enough.

It is fine to be 'Alone'.

I can chat with my friends any time by text or VoIP using Discord as my source. I still have a phone to where i can call some of them & guess what? if i want to game with them: Online play. It's been no different since pre-covid. (1/3)

Also add at the peak of COVID. I had a friend whom came to visit. Took a plane to & from to me. The risk wasn't the plane, It wasn't us sharing a room, It wasn't us at all. It was their job that was the risk. I guess it helps if you share similar health risks as well. (2/3)

& talk openly about your concerns & what you both do to help lower the risk in the general sense. Nothing is 100% but it has worked thus far.

I don't use Zoom. I use Twitch. If they wanna hang out and watch me game, they can. No different than if they came over. (3/3)

This is true. Whenever i take public transit. I try to stick to the lease busy hours & ask myself if i really need to go or can i have it delivered or can i get to where i need to get to by other means (other means include walking & lyft since its better than a BUS) (1/2)

(2/2) In public, i make sure i keep my distance and if inside a store. I see how packed it is or go when its least packed or hardly anybody inside. I will not go if more than 5 ppl inside tbh. I also check people if they do not keep their distance. So far so good, no shit given.

While the article covers how some people go about it. I think some of it is too over-the-top & others.. exaggerating IMO. For example, this is a bit much:

As for others, it's being lonely. Maybe because I'm generally a anti-social person myself, this seems super easy for me to not have a need, urge or want to make phy contact with people. VoIP & Text is A-OK with me, always has been & BEFORE covid as well.

For those that are 'Social Butterflies', I get it. However i think at the same time, more people should of been ready for something like this. I also think we should of never re-opened as soon as we did & I don't see nothing hard about staying the fuck inside.

I think our government could of done more. I think they could of paid better, MONTHLY or even BI-WEEKLY. However I haven't had COVID-19 while sleeping on the sidewalk, strangers walking by & taking public transit. My secret: Keep your hands damn clean & don't touch your face. ez.

So for people whom are housed, that catch covid. I only question what the fuck did you do wrong? Couldn't stay the fuck inside? had to go meet somebody for a casual encounter? what? Didn't wanna use Amazon Fresh?

So yeah, these 'Experts' offer advice on how to avoid but i seemly have some tested & true working methods that have kept me safe while being outside.

I find it mind boggling how people whom are not on the streets, somehow get it & then go yelling about how the vax is a lie.
