I'm just thinking about a couple of friends and one family member I know who have been so militant about reducing their risk of catching covid that they've pretty much been nowhere and seen noone since March, even when it's been 'allowed' or within the rules at various times.
One of these has asthma (though controlled and no attacks as an adult) and I do appreciate that catching C19 might be far more risky for them than someone with no health conditions, so no judgement whatsoever. I totally get that people have a right to protect themselves.
All this said, even with a vaccine, I wonder if some individuals have internalised the risk of 'other people' to such an extent that they will have a hard time adapting to the concept of being with others again even when they can safely?
