On the other hand, I have neighbors and family that all visit without masks and NONE of us have become infected. Or, have we? Perhaps, we have all been infected and recovered with no evidence of infection and now have anti-bodies protecting us. We have been visiting and eating out for months, with no one/NO ONE showing symptoms. And in my 70's, I am still the youngest of the group, other than our children that have visited, and stayed for several days.
Foolish or just pragmatic about the situation? I understand the dangers, but I am not paralyzed with fear of living my life as normal as possible. Yes, I still wear a mask in places posted, wash my hands frequently and stay my distance. I can not speak for the rest of the clan.
I believe that FEAR is just as debilitating as most of the infection stories we have been hearing. Call me a fool if you wish, but it is not this person that is worried about silly stories about some child telling stories in an effort to attain some attention, or fearing the real truth that her boyfriend probably snuck in the window and brought the virus with him. Who knows, perhaps it is true that she visited with a friend for five minutes and that friend coughed and used the door handle when leaving and the girl closed the door behind her when she left and did not wash her hands. Who cares? If this story throws you into a panic, what does it say about folks that can't handle life's obstacles because of fear?
Once the vaccine is released, I have no intention of wearing that useless mask anymore. After all, if you are immunized from the virus, you won't be able to worry about whether or not I am infected.
