My anxiety about states re-opening is so high right now. I just keep thinking about how my sweet parents, who own a business that works with the public, who ARE being safe and smart, live in a state who isn't doing great with restricting people.
No shelter-in-place. No mask requirements. And quickly opening things back up. I went grocery shopping and the store was not only BUSY, but less than 5% of the people in the store were wearing masks or social distancing.
Do I want to go back to work? Do I miss theater? Do I miss my friends? OF COURSE! But lives are more important. MY PARENTS' lives are more important. And I can't stop thinking about how easily they could get this virus with how lax their state is being. It kept me up all night.
This thread is nothing more than a venting space because I'm not sure what to do, but keeping it held in my chest also isn't servicing me. Wash your hands. Wear a mask. Please stay safe, so my parents stay safe, too.
