My wife is a teacher and my daughter will have to return to day care if schools resume.

What bothers me the most is that just like retail / grocery store workers we put people with the lowest earning potential and generally worst benefits directly in the path of this. I don’t want to get COVID but unless I convince my wife to quit her job my odds of getting it greatly increase due to situations out of my control.

I don't want to get covid either but the risk is low enough that it doesn't bother me at all. I try to live my life as it was before pandemic as much as i can.

Isn't living life in the same way pre-covid the reason the US is having so many new cases?

[SpicyLemonZest]

It is. I think that's pretty universally acknowledged, even by those who think it's the right strategy.

[matz1]

Yes but many new cases doesn't mean its bad. Most of it are either asymptomatic or having mild symptoms.

[kilroy_jones]

It does seem that way, and I hope it remains so. The demographics have shifted younger. I do worry about my parents, grandparents and friends who have preexisting conditions and the increase risk with so many more cases around.
