It was a bit awkward but, yah know it was sex, which is nice
Look, I’ll pre-empt this by saying we’ve barely left the house since March; but the united states has given up on the containment of covid. Now the only option you got is to play it safe, stay home as much as you can, and understand the risk of meeting with anyone has (depending on location) a small or incrementally large chance of getting it and someone you love, sick. If you are in an area that has seen the worst of covid, the most important thing you can do is keep wearing a mask and keep sanitation practices. If you are in an area spiking with cases and deaths: stay home, for your sake, and the lack of emergency capacity at hospitals. Other than that, the government already failed, it’s only a matter of time for everyone catching it and those worse off dying; I am not saying this is ok, I was literally talking to my brother yesterday about how politicians should be sleeping with one eye open, and yet they are able to safely walk the streets right now. If you are healthy enough to not feel too threatened by covid, you should be cautious and do what you need to do to stay healthy, safe, and mentally well - that includes basic necessities like food, human contact, shelter, and sex. Worrying about getting someone sick should always be a concern and that’s why at best, you should be limiting contact with older people and always wearing a mask. If older and vulnerable people don’t wear a mask, that’s their perogative.
If you are healthy enough to not feel too threatened by covid
and if you aren’t?
Take the risks you are comfortable taking and stay home for the most part. I say this as someone who does not feel healthy enough for covid, with pre-diabetes and overweight. I am constantly weighting the pros and cons of doing an activity outdoors, or going places.
