On another thread someone commented that the “onus” was on the vulnerable to stay home so that the rest of the world could reopen as if the vulnerable were the problem and the others had no responsibility to protect them. Such as wearing masks and maintaining social distances.

You’re suggesting that it is “kind of selfish” for the vulnerable or others to stay home.

The vulnerable can’t win. Actually, one could argue that the risk of a person delivering food is less than the risk of that same person working in a store or restaurant with more relaxation of guidelines and less wearing of masks.

The right to stay home is certainly no less valid than the right to go out and ignore guidelines put in place to protect others.

A little kindness and empathy can go a long way.

Can’t wait for the VK to open for in restaurant dining.
