Have you given any thought on how you plan on reintegrating into society, and the negative health effects of this type of isolation? I’m curious what the balance is between covid risk and isolation risk.

What negsibe health effects? Plenty of people live isolated lives and enjoy it.

Social isolation is, on a population level, associated with poor health outcomes. The data shows this most strongly in the elderly, but it’s true at all ages.

Of course, certain individuals may enjoy and thrive in isolated environments.

Or think they enjoy it. People can fool themselves in many ways.

There are however negative health effects, and have been studied quite well.

Very interesting response. Thanks for sharing!

It would be interesting to hear if this desire for isolation goes away as you start spending more time around people (which, if I’m reading your comment correctly, it seems you will do). Wish you all the best, either way.

Are there outside places to hike outside? That might be a healthy and safe. Frankly it doesn’t sound healthy to not leave home but you aren’t the only one who’s been shut in for a year. Millions of people.

Dilution is generally the point when a specific threshold must be breached to succumb to infection. You can always where a mask, like a serious gas mask. People wi think you're weird, but fuck them.

“ easiest way to not die” are you super high risk? B/c you’ve already likely deceased your chance of dying by just not driving compared to Covid. But if you’re over 65 or have other major health issues then makes some semblance of sense.
