Board 8 > What is your current comfort level doing things during this pandemic

(+) Yeah! (+)

With a lot of places beginning to open up now in the US and other parts of the world, might as well see where everyone stands on this so far

I am about... 5 or 6/10? Granted I dont go out of my way to do either.

scale might not be completely accurate too, went generally by what the CDC said was risky

---

I've done 7 but avoid 4 and 5 so I voted 6?

---

Probably somewhere between 4 and 5

Haven't eaten at a restaurant since March, although I have briefly gone to arcades a couple times. Outdoors seems pretty whatever as long as it's not crowded.

---

9

I work in a grocery store, so my chances of catching it are significantly higher there than they are at a theater or restaurant.

---

Between 3 and 4.

I go for walks on trails but avoid well-traveled outdoor areas like parks and beaches.

---

9/10

I live in Sweden so it sucks that all the concerts I looked forward to this summer got canceled, but thats pretty much it.


---

Between 3 and 4. Willing to go to beaches and stuff if there's no crowds. I also go running (though not currently due to smoke issues) and just cross the street if I'm approaching someone.

But I also live in a multi-unit building with friends and we just consider ourselves one "pod", so it makes things a lot easier considering it means we can socialize/hang out with each other.

---

Pretty much been living life as normal as possible, just with masks and social distancing.

I generally prefer to just be at home most of the time anyway.

---

I've gone to restaurants in the last month but before that I was probably a 3

---

I mean, I do 4 but the chance of getting covid on my daily run is probably less than touching the mail at home...so...

I would not actually go to any beach here they are all crowded and full of people that typically do riskier behaviour.

I voted 2. But its more like 2.5.

as someone who touches mail for a living you aren't going to get it from touching the mail

I'm touching it right now

not really, I just wanted to imitate Pun

---

Normally 2. I get curbside grocery delivery every couple weeks and don't set foot outside my apartment otherwise.

But last month I visited my parents over a weekend so that's a 7. I figured exposure to just two people who are generally mask-wearing/social distancing was not overly risky. (Then they had surprise guests over for lunch oops lol)
---

every once in a blue moon I will visit a friend or family with masks and preferably outside, and i have work, but that's about it

I'm about a 4, I'd rather be a 2, and I'm around enough 5-9 types that none of it is likely to matter

---

Voted 3, but I try to minimize trips to the store as much as I can. I can't see myself getting less cautious until a vaccine has been distributed.

---

Ive mainly gone to parks and occasionally boardwalk on a quieter beach on weekdays for a little bit of exercise. Its usually spaced out well but I usually carry a mask if Im in a spot that it isnt (plus it doesnt really affect my breathing while running, asthma be damned)

restaurant was once, the family thing was to drop something off for a relative who is high risk.

---

Somewhere between 3 and 4. I stay the hell at home and occasionally go walking on weekdays when I can avoid people

---

7 once every two-three weeks, 2 like once a week, then 1 the rest

---

3, but I'll hang out with select people

It's like... if a family member or close friend gets it we're all doomed anyway

---

Voted 9.

9 wasn't in line with the rest of the poll though. The rest was what have you done. And 9 was a hypothetical if you would.

I wasn't implying this btw, I know this is low, it was to illustrate how low the risk is when I am actually out.

Uh I guess I've done up through 8 but I wouldn't say I feel 8/10 comfortable.

This is mainly cause it just opened up where I live (NJ) so I assume its not open in other states.

Working in health care, I'm basically a 9 from the get-go. I see 30 patients a day and a physical exam is part of that. Of course we wear masks, but you can't really get much more exposed than me unless you work in a COVID unit or are a respiratory therapist. My closest friends/family know the risks of being around me and have chosen it is worth it. I still interact with 5 of them very regularly, no masks. I've been tested for COVID 7 times now...all negative. At my job it is once a month and also any time you return from a vacation.

That said, if I was able to work from home, I'd be a 3/10 for sure. I'd be staying in as much as possible. Unfortunately due to work, "it is what it is". If I catch it, I'm 99% sure it's not going to be from a shopping cart. The patients I have coughing all over the place are a much more likely culprit.

---

3/10 I leave only for groceries/work/other essential stuff37.35%31

Congrats, you did the most dangerous thing on the list.

---

3/10

I only ever go to work, but work is more dangerous than I would like given how much the imbeciles I work with walk around, talk, mingle, and needlessly intrude upon my personal space without a mask!

---

I guess I should specify that I can work remotely indefinitely, so my only really point of exposure is getting groceries (and my roommates).

---

I voted 9

I live in Japan, and on top of having a relatively low nunber of cases, I live in a prefecture that has had about 500 total cases. I do wear a mask when I go anywhere, but I play basketball and I take it off then. I'm pretty comfortable going most places in my area but I try to avoid Tokyo so I can't say 10.

---

4 easily (for crowd-free ones)

7/8 occasionally

---

9, I guess. I dine out very rarely, but I did go yesterday because I felt like it. I wouldn't go to a gym though.

Same, but less patients per day.

Although I would be in the 6-7ish range.


---

Voted 4 because I routinely walk through the local park uncovered, but I've visited relatives once, and I would go to the gym without a mask if they'd let me.
