I wonder how many old folks are thinking "I only have a few years left, do I want to spend them isolating or do I want to live like there's nothing wrong, since I'm going to die soon anyway." I'm starting to see the appeal of that approach; problem is that if I got the bug I would also be passing it on to people who want to stay alive.

And you’d die alone. That would really stink to die staring an at an iPad of your wife.

Good friend is pissed at dad.
He drives to the corner store for a paper and coffee.
In his nineties.
Never stopped. Not afraid of dying.
Ironically he’s a multi millionaire and could get home delivery.
But it’s his routine. And he’s going out with his boots on.
God bless him. I respect that.. . .

Seems like if we got enough like minded people together us fatalistic geezers could take over a ski resort, exclude all non-geezers, run it until we're all just a bunch of covid mummies forever riding the lifts, and not worry about infecting others. How would we go about keeping the first responders out?

RE: OGs analysis. Yep. Since we have very low rates in Montana it is pretty much business as usual now. There are some attempts at masks and SD but mostly its Fuckit.
OTOH I spoke with my sister today. She and my older sister are both immune-compromised and live in Atlanta. Sister I spoke with depends heavily on AA meetings and Zoom has gotten old for a lot of the members. Several have gone back to attending in person and some have developed the Covid. 2 in the hospital.
Sis is starting to come unraveled. I am little help.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

My 93 y/o Mom is certainly taking the virus seriously. Lives by herself, solves Suduku every day, and walks a mile with trekking poles everyday.
Always mask & gloves. No one allowed in her house. Has isopropyl alcohol spray for all items that enter her house. She is on a mission. Wants to hit 100 and keep on going.

I’m starting to lose my shit because I’ve had to do some short in-person meetings and I’ve been the only one wearing a mask (N95). Feels incredibly weird to be the only one in a group of 6. Pisses me off.

Fuck all of everybody else. I've been a huge dick to everyone that comes close to me at work. I wear double layer cloth mask with a 3m furnace filter insert in the pocket. Also wear safety glasses and hold my breath/refuse to talk when I enter a space I consider potentially infectious, which is anywhere anyone has been unless outside in a breeze.
It all matters.
I could stay socially isolated forever from close contact save for my family. It bothers me almost not at all to not hang or talk to people and I am not sure I'd start caring even after a couple years. Maybe I would but I doubt it. I feel as healthy as ever mentally (which isn't to say I don't have issues). I do have an awesome wife which helps. People are such assholes breathing all over everyone else right now. Fucking pricks. I don't get it. Mask up or fuck off.

That happened to me Thursday outside at work with a peer coworker. He didn't seem offended when I backed away and told him repeatedly to stay back but he kept coming. I think it is just ingrained in some people. They cannot help it. Seems crazy to me since people are not drones.
That dude seemed not to be offended at all in the end. We communicated work info and moved on. Not that I cared. Distance was maintained.

I've noticed that some people have a natural distance they want to be from someone they're talking to, and as you inch away, they unconsciously inch towards you. And they think 4 feet is 6 feet.

My 10 yo boy/girls twins have become super tight. They often play together for hours... with some occasionally intensive arguments and conflicts. It’s pretty great. Their play is sometimes very pandemic-related, which is interesting to observe. The boy, when he gets tired, has existential meltdowns, with are tough.
The 14 yo, I can’t believe he’s keeping it together! He shut down and shut us out when the schools closed at first, blatantly lying about doing his school work. For about a month he barely came out of his room. We got an email from his counselor this week that he’ll need to retake several classes this summer if he doesn’t turn in a shit load of work before Friday. It looks like he’s taking it to 11 now and will get it all done He is hopefully doing his first in-person social thing with friends tomorrow.
We’re all watching the last air bender series on Netflix. Two episodes most evening.
Our trampoline has been a really great thing. I’ve been working 50+ hr weeks lately and been the one doing all the town errands, so I’m often ignoring the family. A few minutes bouncing the kids around on the trampoline really does wonders!
