Many work from home. I am not doing this forever. Its only until the issue is resolved.

If you were my mom...you should be thankful I am trying not to bring the virus home to endanger your life.
This based on scientific facts...nothing to do with being nerdy or not.
Plse make the effort to ensure safety of elderly at home.

I don't think one is acting responsible if there are elderly in family and you are going out often.
It's not able being brave or paranoid or kiasu....its about being safe. The science and data supports the need to isolate when cases are surging.

It is good to be cautious but don't be too extreme.
Your mom also need to go out and breathe some fresh air and get some sunlight for Vit D. Our immune system will not improve if we over protect ourselves. Stay in a too clean environment and when you go to a dirty country, you notice that you fall sick easily because your immune system became weak.
Extremes are bad. We always need to strike a balance
Go out occasionally, but observe SMMs of course. You are both vaxxed right? Life must go on. You can't keep living like a hermit.
I go out daily to walk, exercise, buy food, etc.

There was lead time if order online ...and she needed it immediately for cooking.
When I took lift there were others in it. When I walk to shop all the way I was exposed to people walking along side. When I reach shop ...there other customers there.
Although risk is low there is still risk. I felt okay since but could be asymptomatic, so I used one of the govt issued ART to test this morning. Lucky it was negative.

Lesson learned for me is to double check everything and make sure eyeball the stuff in kitchen to make sure nothing runs out. Such exposures have to be minimise and urgency of simple things can throw the best laid plans apart.
3000-4000 cases everyday is serious. Minimizing exposure should be a priority to safeguard family.
If really paranoid until lidis you could have avoided interaction by wearing a ppe headgear [ order online], walk downstairs instead of taking a lift.
Given how precautious you are I'm surprised you dint make contingency plans abt how to move abt in public while minimising your chance of infection.

If we were to stay in the house for a long period, then we may suffer from cabin fever...
