   I love backcountry camping. But that means taking precautions like:

   - Wearing long pants
   - Wearing sunblock & sun hat
   - Purifying my water
   - Never storing food in my tent.

   When people talk about not living in fear from Covid, I imagine them frolicking naked in the woods, gulping beaver water, and storing bacon in their tents.

   At one point does not living in fear become actively chasing sickness?

     Living in fear vs having the tools:

     ER Doc reflects after CDC removes 5 day isolation guidance:
     - "Covid is no longer so different from the seasonal flu and a host of other respiratory viruses, an inconvenience for most of us but a dangerous and potentially mortal threat for some."
     - "We have the knowledge and simple tools needed to protect each other."

     She doesn't name the tools, other than wearing a mask when sick.
