matter of fact, not telling me would end whatever relationship we had
When you refer to "close contact", what exactly do you mean? We, as a population, have been instructed to socially distance ourselves and wear masks when in public or anywhere near people that do not live with us in the same home. My family circle includes my husband, and that's it!

Just walking down the street for exercise, my hubby and myself do not get close to anyone, even if they try to get close to us (to chat for example). I step back and remind them to PLEASE do not get close. It really is quite simple to do this.

You mention "close contact". There should be NO CLOSE CONTACT with anyone other than who lives in your home with you. I will never understand how people do not follow this simple rule. I've almost given up on the mask debate. That seems to be a lost cause so I'll just hammer home how important it is to not get close to anyone other than who lives in your home and sleeps with you in your bed.

Thanksgiving and Christmas has all been called off in our household this year. I have family who live in The Villages but will NOT be spending the holidays with them this year. We are being careful. "Close contact" is not in my vocabulary until hubby and I are vaccinated.
