> I remember the start when folks wiped down delivered groceries. Even isolated them for a few days.

I still isolate groceries for at least 6 hours, delivered or not. Still clean my hands or wear a glove when I touch something outside.

I haven't got sick since Covid appeared. I used to have pretty severe nasal allergies (or so doctors told me) at least once a month, I haven't had one episode since early 2020. This is a life-changer for me.

Same thing for the usual minor health issues such as cold, cough, sore throat. All gone.

So I keep my Covid routine, probably even if Covid goes away, it's not that much of an effort and the results have been spectacular.

I can assume that if you are taking those measures, you also avoid crowds of any sort. Which probably does a lot of the heavy lifting for you.

For me, I also saw that we had fewer sicknesses when the kids were all home schooled. Not shocking, we got a ton of bugs when they started school back. Not sure how sustainable it is to have such isolated lives, though. :(

Correct. Being a software developer helps immensely.

I do absolutely nothing, including not wearing a mask in an area that demands I wear one. Nor have I gotten any sort of shot.

The only thing I do is that I wash my hands every time I return from public, as I always have been. I haven't gotten sick either.
