This past week I had an unusually busy social schedule. Over the last five days I had small get-togethers with friends and relatives, and I was out at restaurants with them each day. Unlike most people here in Ohio, I have continued to wear a facemask whenever I go into a store. However, they have not figured out a way to wear a mask while eating at a restaurant!
I still had four of the home-testing kits that were offered for free by the government, and two of them were going to expire next month. So, last night I decided that after my social whirlwind I should test myself again. Fortunately, I was still negative.
Each kit contains two tests, so I will test myself again tonight. I will use the other kit that expires soon before I go into a week of self-isolation prior to my August trip to Mexico.
I recently read an article saying that at this point at least sixty percent of the U.S. population has had COVID. That might be accurate. I did a count in my head of friends, neighbors and relatives here in Ohio, and a slight majority of them have had the virus. Despite all the traveling I do, and in spite of my recent spate of social activity, I have managed to remain negative... knocking wood and fingers crossed!
Me too! And I still wear a mask as does my family when around me.
ReplyDeleteI actually feel safer in Mexico City where more people wear masks. In fact, I think the masks are still required when entering an indoor public building.
