I’ve been thinking about this – there’s a particular person I’d like to start seeing in-person, unrestricted (e.g. inside, without a mask, hugging OK) but my concern is that my network of contacts isn’t very strict at all.
After reading your post, I’m leaning towards waiting to see the particular person until I can move to a more strictly isolated network.
I am tho (slowly) updating towards less restrictions being reasonable. I’ve observed many people that are probably pretty close to pre-pandemic behavior in terms of unrestricted contact, and with many strangers, and I’m surprised that that doesn’t seem to be spreading the virus, or if it is, there’s no significant observable consequences (AFAICT).
Have you thought about milestones for stepping down isolation further?
Thanks for this post!

Where are you? A lot of the analysis in the post is based on Massachusetts doing pretty well now, which isn’t universal.
