Now that businesses and services are reopening, how, if at all, do you plan to handle your re-entry into the community?

I plan to get out and about a bit, and reintegrate into the community, maintaining a safe social distance. I will continue to wear a mask whenever I am in close proximity to others, for everyone’s comfort. And I will assume, whenever I see someone wearing a mask, that they are smiling at me.

Well, for one thing, masks are a must. I will wear one every time I go into an enclosed location, like a store. I will also continue to use Zoom so that my “transition” is gradual. I will be happy to be able to blend back into a crowd rather than be in the front and center of a computer screen. But I will be careful to avoid large crowds in tight spaces, for sure.

I plan to re-enter slowly and wisely, and will closely follow the information of trusted, reputable professionals. I will wear a mask, avoid crowded, confined spaces, and keep a safe social distance at all times. I won’t go anywhere where it’s not possible to do that.

I’m not planning to go anywhere at all any time soon because I’m pregnant. There is so little known about how, if at all, the coronavirus affects a developing fetus. So I am erring on the side of caution and staying safely put, in my house, preparing for our new arrival.

Honestly, I’m really not worried about catching the virus. I’m young and strong and healthy, so the odds are that even if I get it, I won’t get very sick. I might even be totally asymptomatic. However, because I can spread it to others who are at higher risk, I will keep my distance from my parents and continue to Zoom with them frequently.
