Now that I’m working from home and getting all of my grocery orders delivered, I am getting too comfortable with being homebound.
I make excuses to avoid going out, even if it’s to run a check to the bank or to hit a store that doesn’t offer home delivery services.
I’ll admit, it’s nice to assume I’m not getting legitimately much exposure to COVID-19 as well. This at least held true while I was in the worst parts of the pandemic when I was concerned that my exposure was potentially life threatening. It’s a major relief that current variants of the virus have been a lot less tenacious and deadly than the initial a singles. That’s the only positive that I remind myself of when I look at the infection rates and see positive increases across the board, with many states seeing increases again for the seventh, sixth, and sixth times. Some people have managed to get COVID inside large and open living spaces because of shared central Heating plus A/C systems where the viral particles simply recirculate while the a/c or oil furnace is running. I use special allergen filters that have a small enough micro size to collect viral particles enjoy the COVID-19 virus. Aside from containing any COVID-infected respiratory particles, I’m also extremely careful when opening any external doors or windows. That’s how you can suddenly get out of control of dust all over your indoor surfaces. It’s impossible to avoid it to some degree without owning a separate decontamination room in between my front door and the inside of my home
