What You Can Do

I recently left instagram. People said "Oh, yeah, social media is toxic; I totally understand." I have found it helpful to follow-up with "Yeah, I left because I could no longer watch people living non Covid-consious lives, while I remain in physical isolation. I want to still love humanity." Recognition dawns on their faces as "What can I do?" is asked. These are the things I ask of my friends in their daily lives: 
​Wear a mask in public indoor settings.
Dine outside.
Be up to date on your vaccinations. 

The swiss cheese model of mitigation is still helpful to consider. Every mitigation measure matters. Every person is a vector.
