I agree. I feel like this is a minefield to step in to, but why is mental health considered less important than physical health? Mental health can kill you the same that this virus can. Suicide or virus, you're still dead. I think it's well documented that loneliness and isolation cause physical symptoms. The pandemic has exacerbated loneliness and isolation that some people were already experiencing.

I'm not suggesting that people just irresponsibly start doing things, but if you've considered your actual circumstances, how many stores you visit and how often, do you wear a mask and wash your hands, are there other people in your home, are you WFH, etc., for some the risk is pretty minimal that either you or your therapist are going to infect each other.
