I feel like such a childish and ridiculous wimp by not wanting take my car down to get its MOT done all because I'm nervous about having someone touch everything even though he is bound to have gloves on and stuff. I won't want to go to town or anywhere once shops reopen and feel like I'd wait until cases drop to zero.
It is not childish or wimpy to be afraid of going out and doing these things because of COVID. A lot of people are feeling exactly the same, and the government kind of want everyone to be as paranoid or afraid as you are.
I must admit I'm not overly paranoid about catching COVID, but I'm still following the rules and keeping 2 metres apart and washing my hands, etc. What I'm more afraid of is all the precise rules they have in any type of store now, I'm so scared that I might accidentally break a rule and get fined or something, or be yelled at by someone if I cough or sneeze, or whatever.
The way I see it, there are two types of people.
One are the overly paranoid people (not saying they're childish or wimps at all) who think that COVID is a death sentence for everyone, and the other are the optimistic people who try to think that there's a chance that the person who briefly came less than 2 metres near them has not got COVID at all. I'm in the latter, but I still follow the rules because I want to be alert. But I just go by common sense.
