My wife and I just came home from vacation, and after 4½ years of avoiding it, we have COVID.
(lemmy.world)
We social distance, usually wear masks in public, and stay up to date on our vaccinations. But all it took was one lady with a mean cough on a two hour flight a week ago to ruin that...or so we think.
The timing really sucks. I had plans for my weekend.
Well whatever you call it, the virus is still everywhere and making lots of people sick. It's not at all odd to wear a mask when you don't want to catch a bug, or if you think you may be at risk of passing a bug on to others. Some close family members had COVID last week so we all wore masks for a bit, and I wore a mask in crowded situations so as not to pass it on. Seems like quite a normal thing to do, and so far the rest of us didn't seem to catch it.
