Any change in behaviors based on the new Covid wave?

We're ordering groceries online for curbside pickup now. Still both working from home. Have not had a dinner out since Valentines. Avoiding stores even more, probably won't be in one for a month or more now.

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 spent bank on tests for thanksgiving. No change otherwise except greater awareness (approximating April) in our already cautious routines. Masks on whenever indoors in public.

Not wiping stuff down or obsessively washing hands.

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.

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.

Ditto.

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.
