So I am very risk averse about COVID (and life in general, really) and have health anxiety. Due to our wildly different comfort levels when attending an event yesterday, I have had it confirmed that my husband has a very different risk aversion level from me, which resulted in some arguing. Now I'm getting utterly paranoid about the holidays. Not all of his family members are vaccinated, some have high risk health conditions, and all of them (vaxxed and unvaxxed) are living life 100% normally. I do not want to spend any holiday events with them this year (we didn't last year, but they all gathered as normal, unmasked, pre-vaccination, and they FaceTimed us but it felt like they couldn't wait to get off the call). My own family is much smaller, all vaccinated, and I feel like with pre-testing we could spend some of the holidays with them much more easily. We have no children and both work on site two days a week, masked. I am a teacher and am getting a booster in a few weeks.
I know one answer is just to just go and deal with it all and live in my discomfort, but I really don't think I should have to not have this boundary in place for myself. Another answer is to not see ANYONE's family out of fairness. I could also let him do whatever he wants and do whatever I want and simply agree to disagree, but that still puts him in exposure to unvaccinated people. Should I insist he get a booster (he does qualify for some medical reasons)? Should I ask him to get tested before and afterward?
I feel a little like I'm going crazy, because I am still taking all these precautions, only seeing people outside, etc., but other people are living life as normal. My state and county and town are still having really really high incidents, and even though cases are finally going down, they're not down to nothing. I'm exposed to a little under 100 students every week in person, but I feel like that makes ME risky to be around, too.
I get that vaccinated + vaccinated = safe indoors and out, but his family is SO much larger than mine, like Thanksgiving and Christmas will involve at minimum like 15 people, many of them too young to get vaccinated (the kids have been going to unmasked school in person), and some of them just overt anti-vaxxers. We don't live somewhere where it's warm enough to do even Thanksgiving outside.
Any help or ideas are welcome. I'm getting very sad.
A(x) = -u''(x)/u(x), why not use just the first or second derivative alone. I had a look at wikipedia, which said this is done because risk attitudes are unchanged under affine transformations of u, but I don't understand why that justifies this definition.
It is always interesting to read the gut reactions after a bitter performance. Boca Out this.. Cubo sucks that… Barco needs to be sold etc… Each point has some merit and some fallacy. I have personally been basically accused of being a front office “boot licker” on more than one occasion. It is a constant reminder that I need to not post retorts when I am still buzzing from the match and others might be as well. It is simply not productive conversation.
Much as been written and said about “The Roster” and how it compares to previous iterations with Atlanta United (which is not really how it should be viewed vs against MLS rosters as a whole)… I think we are all on board (at the very least) with the statement “mistakes have been made”. Let’s ignore this portion of the mess for the time being because there is not an easy and quick fix (i.e. firing Boca, dumping the Barco investment or any other number of things that are more punitive vs rehabbing the roster).
I want to talk about how we can be better going forward… with the players that we have (or soon will have). Yesterday in the last 20 mins while we were set up in a 3-5-2 we looked a far more exciting side and I think we need to explore using that formation going forward (but also something else added to the mix, more below) now that we don’t have Emerson Hyndman in the middle to help us maintain possession. Playing all 3 CBs with Sosa in front of them with less cover responsibility for him seemed to propel us into attack quicker will strengthening the middle.
Things you may have noticed were moments where George Bello attempted to beat people off the dribble (he did it VERY well yesterday) and to a lesser extent Moreno, Mulraney and Barco. If we are not going to possess the ball long enough to get a defense out of their shape and create 2 v 1s or 3 v 2s in space (which is what Gabby’s system is trying to do) then we need to force the issue with risk… whether it is beating a man or trying a line splitting pass. It seems like we still have this great fear of being dispossessed leaving the back susceptible to the counter. It is time to take the chains off of guys and tell them that being aggressive is equally as important as retaining the ball.
Josef is going to come back in the next match… and while he is only 1 man… his presence is absolutely felt by defenses and it is going to create space for Lennon, Bello, Moreno, Barco etc on the wings…HOWEVER we need to stop being content with lobbing in 35
