(12,011 posts)Not that I plan on going out to bars any time soon anyway. But I'm not waiting two years or more to see my family and friends or go to a restaurant or get a haircut. I'm being extra careful for now because I just found out I'm pregnant, but I still have to go to doctors' appointments for that, and fairly soon I imagine that even if my boss lets me keep working from home (he probably will), at some point I will have to resume going to court and mediations. I don't have the luxury to stay home for years on end even if I wanted to. If you do, that's great, and I promise I won't come to your house and get in your face. Unlike some asshole Gen-X Trumpsters, I won't get in your face at the grocery store either, or berate store clerks for asking people to wear a mask. But I don't understand why the goalposts have changed, when the original intent of the stay at home orders was to prevent the hospitals from being overwhelmed.
