The higher up you are in the pecking order, the less chance there is for you to catch or spread the virus.

1. Full Howard Hughes: You do not leave your home for any reason. You get all groceries, meals etc via delivery. You avoid other people completely. If you are married, divorce may be imminent.

2. Modified Howard Hughes: You engage in some safe outdoor activities like golf, walking etc but do not enter any buildings other than your own home. You get groceries etc by delivery or curbside pickup. No going out to eat. When outside, you stay at least 20 feet from others.

3. Full Masker: You wear a mask anytime you leave your home, even when engaging in outdoor activities. You go to supermarkets because you like to, and will go to stores if employees are masked. You do not go out to eat because it would require you to take off your mask.

4. Modified Masker: You don't wear a mask for outdoor activities, but you wear one when shopping or at supermarket. You do go out to eat as long as servers are wearing masks.

5. Anti Masker: You don't wear a mask anywhere because it's your God given right not to and you don't think they work all that well. You tell people to buzz off if they criticize you.

I chose the Modified Howard Hughes method, it's the best way I can stay sane while protecting myself AND others. I have no problem with you no matter what approach you use since I don't interact with you anyway.

Okay, I'm content being called a modified Howard, as long as saving my urine and toenail clippings isn't required.
