>Drive through windows and me going to the store have been our only exposures.

Let me reword this for you: "interacting with a teenager who deals with about a thousand people a day, and going to a facility that is frequented by tens of thousands of people a week, has been my only exposure."




Seriously, how is this not comprehensible to people? If you or your family members are going outside, you HAVE NOT been in isolation. You've been interacting with people outside and bringing in germs from your visits.


People go out once a week and thinking its comparable to living on Antartica, I know lockdown is very different from normal life but yet lol


As Jeff Goldblum would say, "Life finds a way."

I'm avoiding Covid conversations as my self-esteem is too fragile to tolerate downvotes. ;) But, if I were opining on the subject, I'd say that masks, social distancing, lock-downs, etc. are absolutely and utterly worthless and unecessary. But, if it makes some people feel virtuous to wear their placebo masks while cowering in the apartments, so be it. As for me, I'll be at the river this weekend tubing with several hundred others, drinking a Corona, and thinking of you all.


Is the irony not lost on you? You're not really avoiding a COVID conversation in your comment...


I think the issue is that we are wearing masks and gloves so despite those protections you still can get sick while maintaining 6 foot social distance and even strictly limiting the time in a store (if ever)... Also the vector is one adult here max.


short of N95 masks, masks don't help you at all. In fact, they make it worse from the standpoint that as you touch it, you are applying various yuck on it to inhale.


Right but 6 feet and more in a highly ventilated store should... so..
