I live with 4 other adults and a child. Three of the 4 adults go to close contact situations for 8 hours per day. 2 of them then also are social butterflies and interact in party-type situations with other adults. I don't bother to wear a mask myself anymore because there is nowhere/way for me, my son, or grandson to quarantine from the rest. I was informed today that one of those social butterfly adults was exposed to a coworker with verified covid. There is nothing I can really do to protect myself at this point, short of living in my car by myself. My adult son has a chronic and severe lung infection and he has no option to protect himself either.

masking helps, it really does. it can lower the viral load even if nothing else. add some CR boxes and you are even better off.

Our leaders have totally let us down as have the left alternative. The pandemic is real and still raging (perhaps has only just gotten started). It is incredibly demoralising for us all to be going through this. You are one of the people pointing out the obvious truths. There are others who know what is going on but we are not connected and don't support each other - Eric Topol, Akiko Iwasaki, National Nurses United, World Socialist Website, and millions of individuals the world over. You are not alone!

Problems, stress, etc. Exists. what are the solutions. Knowlage, understanding. Important questions require the highest quality answers. "TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places-and there are so many-where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory." Howard Zinn

Stress is toxic. Amongst the greatest cause of disease, physical and mental. Stress shuts down systems including the immune system. Microbe tv. Clinical update. Among other information. Polio is not eradicated and is making a comeback in the us now. Ultimately the issue is the solutions. If helping others is a goal take care of yourself first. No offence , there are solutions if people are aware.

Taking a cannabis break will get you wreaked like the first times when you consume again. Additional alternative ways of coping can make the biggest difference. Some typical solutions loose there effectiveness. Consider adding reasonable additional alternatives.

Disappointing to hear you repeating false information.
