Realistic options — not “stay home”
If any of your outdoor tasks can move, shift them outside the 6 AM–7 AM window — earlier or later in your shift is measurably less exposed.
If your route has a bus option that arrives outside 6 AM–7 AM, take that one instead of waiting through the worst of it.
Ask your supervisor whether your shift start/end can flex by an hour to dodge the 6 AM–7 AM window.
