Any change in behaviors based on the new Covid wave?

I've taken to licking door handles...
Will start going back to using Instacart more often, have started restocking the freezer, and have picked up several boxes of N95s for when I need to be in a place with a bit more exposure. Will likely wear gloves again.

My son's working in a department store now, he wasn't during the first wave.
I kind of wish he wasn't at this point, but he has to do something.

Same. I will be supplying him with N95's as well.

@Aqua-Letifer How much had you relaxed since the spring?

Almost none whatsoever. We get out, take drives and shit, hang out in parks that we know are very hard to get to so no one bothers visiting, do things in the back yard, talk to folks daily on FaceTime, etc. But we stay away from people. Everything delivered. I went into a CVS at 3:40AM once in June to get meds, that's it.
Part of the reason though is family politics, it's not just paranoia.

We'll get together with a group of maybe 8-9 family indoors on Thanksgiving, no masks.
We'll use alcohol as disinfectant.
Other than that about the same.

We are back into hunkered in mode. I took retirement last spring. Kid schools online at home. My spouse works at the regional cancer hospital and is very careful not to take any unnecessary risks whether at work or during her off hours. We see friends rarely, and then only outdoors, usually on dog walks. Did not celebrate Thanksgiving last month and will not celebrate New Year's with friends at the house this year either.
Would fully support the closure of bars, restaurants, places of worship, gyms, non essential retail or any indoor venues in which groups of ten or more people congregate.

Doing anything online with music-making? Seems that's becoming more popular as people hunker down.
Please love yourself.

I just got told we're not going back into the office before 4/1/2021.
Good news, bad news as far as I'm concerned.
Nobody else in our family celebrates Thanksgiving, and we'll be by ourselves at Crimbo.

No change.

Nothing has changed for us. We still brave the grocery story every couple of weeks. Have ordered more stuff online this year than probably a few previous years combined.
We have a nice supply of KN95s and I am ordering more.
I hope we can get vaccinated in the 2021-2022 time frame.

We have’t been doing much differently, though I’ve been trying to make fewer trips to the grocery store. Yesterday, Walmart (the main place in town to get stuff) closed without warning (or much warning) til Monday at 7 am for deep cleaning, they’ve had a bunch of cases and I imagine our overwhelmed health dept needs the time to do contact tracing. (Dept recently requested people with mild symptoms not show up to get tested, just quarantine) . At any rate, this is a bad weekend to be closed, we went at opening time to one of the other stores this morning to make sure we could find a small turkey.

No and probably won't.

I've noticed more requests for digital demonstrations at work... Facetime, Zoom, etc... Business is still through the roof, but for a while, all of our business was done on Zoom. From July-August, it was primarily in-person private appointments, and in September-October, it was primarily just walk-in business with a few private appointments.
Last week our business was 1/3 walk-in, 1/3 appointment, and 1/3 virtual.
