Are you me? Lol.
I've been having these same discussions.
My state allows small gatherings, so I think I'm going to go ahead and meet with some friends outside in a few weeks. I basically am one step behind the restrictions. So I'm following the rules and then some.
I plan to social distance outside since the weather is warm. And I'll do this with low risk friends.
My biggest concern is if all of my friends then go hang out with different groups of people. Seems to defeat the purpose
But my FOMO is around concerns of a second spoke that requires another lockdown. For my own mental sanity, I need to see people and get out of the house (I live alone). I'm really serious about this. I'm getting into a weird hermit funk. I honestly could see a point where everyday activities cause anxiety...

Yeah I live alone and I caved a couple weeks ago. I’ve been seeing a couple friends in small groups and going on walks w people. I’m not risking seeing any high risk people and am mindful in public so I can live w weighing my own sanity vs potential risks.

Take advantage of the nicer weather. Meet outdoors or in someone’s yard. Being your own snacks drinks silverware. Sit 6 ft apart.
Studies point toward the high risk being indoors in close quarters for long sustained periods of time being. We are doing a lot of shaming imo in pictures of people walking in public places and not trying to see what an amazon facility or meat packing plant looks like

I agree that the shaming of people literally just walking outside in parks needs to really stop. It’s making our side look very bad and making the “fear porn” accusation have some validity. If people continue doing that, I think there is going to be huge pushback in November. People will only tolerate so much when it affects them personally.
I think what's more important than social distancing is literally managing self-hygiene. Wash your hands, sneeze into your sleeve or tissue, don't share drinks and food, don't go out if you're coming down with a cold. People are oing out again if they haven't already - just be smart about your actions. It's all we can do to protect ourselves and our loved ones.

You should be doing this if the state allows.
“If the state allows” eye rolling
This is what we’ve come too
You should do whatever fuck you want because you’re a human being with God-given rights.

I hang out with a select group but we don’t hang out inside. We go on bike rides or hikes although we are not great about keeping distance. We are up front with each other and say “I went to the grocery store this week, I wore a mask and used hand sanitizer consistently” to weigh the risk of hanging out that week. I think there is a way to see friends as long as you 1. Try to stay outside, 2. Know each other’s habits 3. Stick with the same people. To level set, there’s about a million people in my city and we have a few thousand cases. My partner owns a cafe and is doing take out so I’m never truly isolated.
Myself and friends have agreed to hang out in a group of 5 or so of us that are all behaving responsibly and not hanging with other people. Limited risk but we don’t have to be miserable stuck in doors all the time.

Another lockdown is coming in the fall regardless of what we do. Enjoy your last taste of freedom before it’s gone forever.
