I asked my partner that we return to wearing masks in settings with lots of people and where people go when sick: grocery store, pharmacy, doc offices. I’m not planning on masking up when I join coworkers for drinks because I don’t think most sick people power-through to go to bars. So it’s a negotiation with myself depending on the situation.
you may not believe this, but last night I saw a friend who is in town still for christmas. she said she cant rememeber the last time she was this congested. didnt mention it until we were out. the plan was to swing by her house the next morning to see her mom, and she waited until we were inside the house to mention she took a covid test this morning and it was positive. we sat outside for 20 minutes and left.
I just spent the evening convincing my partner to take a test. “I have a headache and sore throat but no covid symptoms”… I don’t think I could get them to ever wear a mask again. Meanwhile I kinda love not getting sick so I’ve never stopped masking. Anyways we’re getting a divorce later this year or early next year, unrelated reasons, so not my problem soon

You’d be wrong about sick people not going to bars.

Not sure I’d call that person a friend.
