I don& #39;t typically post about my personal life, but I am at my church for a meeting for the first time in months, and I haven& #39;t felt this terrified for my personal safety in a long time. Allow me to explain: (thread)
1. Mask compliance: there are some masks present, but the majority are down and or just off to the side.
2. Distancing: There are groups separate from family circles sitting nearer to one another than 6 feet.

Though I& #39;m looking for spiritual guidance to an extent, this is not the way to approach such. Church used to be a safe space, an isolation from other individuals. That no longer stands current, and may not stand in the distant future.
I& #39;m generally a social person with some anxiety, but this has heightened my fear beyond levels of March. I& #39;m vulnerable beyond what I want to be.
I have isolated myself in a far room that has had no use since March, in an attempt to stay more safe.

Basically, it looks like I won& #39;t be going back to my church for a long, long time, if at all again. If this is what school is going to be like, I& #39;m very much concerned.
If you are a teacher, student, or parent of someone in close contact with school starting now or soon, I am so so sorry, and I wish you all the best. We are facing a harsher reality than I could have ever imagined, where my home and many others are no longer safe spaces.
Basic summary: we& #39;re still in a Pandemic, and it& #39;s perfectly normal to feel scared at this point. Do the best you can to keep yourselves safe, and hope that others follow similar routines. Let us hope that what has occurred this year may eventually diminish.
This "normal" is no longer new, it is now normal until something can finally correct our course. Make the right choices, folks, and let& #39;s hope things can clear soon.
Final tweet of this thread- reach out to some people you know and see if there& #39;s a way you can help them in this time where isolation is key.
