(9,888 posts)that fall into this category. I think in some ways the isolating has gotten to be a habit. I'm essential and have worked every day of COVID in a community living environment. I've been lightly exposed to people with COVID, but haven't gotten sick because I am reasonably careful. I'm very glad that I worked throughout, because I'm not, nor have I ever been, afraid to go out. Plus, I think that, maybe through necessity, maybe not, there has been a bit of fearmongering. They never report that incidence is significantly down in the US since January. There seems almost to be a rule against saying anything good about COVID. Even when vaccinations started there was nothing good to say, just warnings about how you could still get sick, you could still spread it, we were going to need boosters, another surge was a week away. It seemed like they were almost sabotaging the vaccine, which I think for a significant number of people they managed to do.
