Now with less breakage.

Reminds me of the witch from Good Omens (author of "The nice and accurate Predictions of Agnes Nutter, Witch"), who knew they were going to drop by and burn her on the stake in the evening, so she packed her clothes with gunpowder and metal scrap.

I also can't imagine the "never leave the apartment" approach is great for your mental state.

Even before the vaccines, the advice here was that you'll be perfectly fine going for a walk outside, even unmasked, as long as you're not in a crowd. Merely passing someone on a trail or sidewalk is an entirely negligible risk - and walking together with someone with distancing but close enough for conversation is also OK. I'm sure the advice around this varies between states in the US - I'm in Norway, so our public health advice is not entirely in sync with yours.

Still - if you have been cooped up for almost two years now, going for a walk outside on your own, at a time when there's not too many others, seems like a reasonable place to start readjusting to society.

(If you're immunocompromised, then obviously listen to your medical specialists instead of goons.)
