I decided way back at the beginning of all this that I would not live my life in fear. I've taken all reasonable measures to protect myself.

Beyond that, I just can't worry about it. I'm not going to let the prospect of being exposed to someone who hasn't gotten a shot stop me from getting on with my life.

Now I live alone and I'm (*cough*) relatively young and quite healthy, so I have that freedom to be insouciant. If I were around more high risk people, like my parents, I'd take more precautions, but I'm not, so there it is.

That said, if a store wants me to put on a mask to walk in, fine. I won't be thrilled about it, but I won't fight them on it either.
