You shouldn't be contagious anymore even if you test positive. Plus wearing an N-95 mask will protect anyone from any droplets. They can wear masks too. I still wear mine when I'm around strangers for any length of time. It also helps protect me from allergens. Grass allergies have been so bad this year. If anyone gives me a hard time about masking outside in the park, I just say I'm allergic to outside and people say oh yes pollen is so bad now! What a good idea!

There's also a virus going around with some of the same COVID symptoms but is not apparently COVID or is COVID and no one is testing.

I know, folks. It's now been 17 days of testing positive. I got into a long argument with my family over not being contagious. But my sister doesn't want to risk ruining her vacation by getting sick (she's going to Hawaii after this) and my elderly parents are legitimately concerned.

I'm still tired so that doesn't help, either, never mind that half the fatigue is depression. We hung out outdoors a couple of days ago wearing masks. It's just pretty cold out. At least it hasn't started raining again. Tomorrow is probably the last nice day, though. She's only here another week. And then another eight years...
