You could also put phone on airplane mode when you don't want to be bothered so it won't ring. I know not everyone can in case of emergencies, but that's what I do at about 10 PM. I just keep the Wifi connected and only have sound notifications for WhatsApp where close friends and my immediate family can contact me if there were something urgent.


As far as going over to a neighbor's, I haven't been to anyone's house since COVID started. I've had to talk to neighbors about a few things, and we always do that outside. My husband and I are being careful, but the country where I live has been through the wringer with the virus since last March. Not as bad as the US, but we seem to be heading into a second wave and possible new lockdown. You just never know how careful others are being.
