any reason to rejoin the outside world?

[mama2one]

having been inside (including wtr 2019) for last 16 mos, seems to be little reason for me to rejoin the outside world once Covid is in check

-churches are online
-taking online church couples class
-child is part of online church youth group
-child is now able to attend classes (worldwide)
-ordering online so no need to go inside anywhere
-we Skype with family

is there a reason to rejoin the world?

It sounds like you are still very engaged with the world, only differently. But, it would be nice to eat indoors in a restaurant again. I miss that.

I guess I am fortunate that I never had to quarantine. The area where I live was not quarantined. The only requirement was that we wear a mask when going into businesses. Some businesses didn't require it even.

true...

A reason: Once Covid tamed, opportunities to love additional neighbors, in person.

I think human contact is something that is an objective need of humans because the suicide rate is going way up from all the lockdowns. A lot of our government officials seem to be looking at only one side of the equations. It's almost like they think that not getting this virus outways all other considerations. But there is a risk to living. You can't escape it. Sure you might prevent some infections but at what cost? It seems like the answer is we don't care what the cost is.

Most people don't want to risk being one of the unlucky 10% of people infected that are still suferring aftereffects months later. Or worse, the 0.5% or so that die. But yes, socializing is a very good thing for us.

Don't know really what you mean when you say,

"rejoin the world"

The world is more and more "on line".

Thing is when everything becomes dependent on being on line,

The world is spinning faster and faster it seems.

I try to keep my seat in the last carriage, better than in the first carriage if or when the train goes off the tracks.
