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.

    It may surprise you to learn that sometimes other people make different choices from you.

      No that is absolutely expected, but the pandemic has been over for a long time.

          Maybe it’s different where you live, but in my country the covid pandemic has been over since at least two years.

            yeah, I guess if you put your fingers in your ears and say “lalalalala I can’t hear you” when people post evidence of the pandemic NOT being over (like the positive COVID results you’re posting under, CDC/WHO data showing increasing infection rates, etc), then it really IS over. very rational and materialist perspective to maintain :)

        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.

          Those stats are from some foreign country, completely irrelevant for me.

            Okay. And on the flip side, the pandemic being over in some foreign country is completely irrelevant to the post—and me.
