Just some advice to those who think this is a hoax and masks are not needed, if you could see how sick this very healthy person (did not wear mask often) got, had to have a relative watch her 24/7 and call 911 to get her hospitalized and on IV and oxygen you might change your mind. She is now on the mend fortunately.

And there’s the difference, you were exposed to and ACTIVE Covid case, so you need to quarantine...someone who was near someone earlier in the day is not a positive Covid carrier...
