    This is funny in a way, but troubling as well. Why does someone who enjoyed forced/mandated isolation simply continue to isolate themselves to whatever extent works for them? That would be largely possible without suggesting their preferences be forced on others.

    Some people didn’t know they were introverts until they were forced to isolate, I guess…

    I’m still in isolation. As long as there are the strident, ‘faux Covid’, anti-vaxxer faction – I will continue to be. I was already socially challenged – these types make me want to continue to stay home.

    Rat and others like him can self isolate all they want. No one is forcing them to associate with the rest of us. Happy New Year.

    Like I’m going to go to large gatherings or eat in a restaurant or go anywhere inside without a mask. Just because people are over the pandemic doesn’t mean it’s over.

    I don’t miss the isolation, because I never experienced it. Folsom and nearby Cali towns de facto ended lockdown by the end of August 2020, and we haven’t had noticeable trouble because of it.

    I have been in a grocery store, a regular one, twice since covid hit. I did a “panic trip” when we had our first case in our state and once again about a year later. I got things that would keep, or were frozen in case I had to hole up for an extended time. My child insisted on delivering groceries and left them on my porch for months, and eventually I either do drive-up or I go to a small fruit market nearby that has a lot of fresh air in it, always has had large windows that are open when possible, weather-wise. It’s small enough that I can be in and out in a very short time. My child used to stick in treats she knew I liked in addition to what I asked her to get. That was actually a big pick-me-up since I couldn’t even see her except through the windows for months.
