For example, I have kept the habit of washing my hands with soap, first thing when I come home.

Wait what? Are you saying that you still don't leave your home even though it's 2024?

I mean, props to you I guess. I just don't see how it makes sense to do so indefinitely unless you are seriously immunocompromised like if you're undergoing cancer treatments or have AIDS.

Don't get me wrong, I utilize and love delivery services. But it's because I'm lazy and don't mind paying for the convenience lol.

To be clear, I'm also not an anti vaxxer, anti masker, or lockdown denier. I have advocated for all of these things at one point or another. But I'm also able to recognize the evolving nature of a global pandemic. Your risk of severe illness or death when leaving your house now is basically back to pre pandemic levels.
