My best friend called yesterday, said she had a bad cold, a little fever. I told her that you don’t get fever with a cold. I asked how she caught it: Her husband. I asked how he caught it. He stopped wearing a mask 🤦🏻‍♀️. She’s none too happy with him. Both are well-informed progressives. I insisted they get COVID tests.

Guess what. Yep.

To quote my friend, “We sure learned our lesson.” 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ She thanked me profusely. Their dr. told them to quarantine, said their vax helped enormously.

@GottaLaff I just got it a few days ago after avoiding it for almost 3 years. I never stopped wearing a mask when I went shopping or rode transit, but I started eating in restaurants and walked around in the ferry building without a mask.

@GottaLaff @mikec415 I’ve locked down, don’t eat at restaurants and any time we go out it’s masks on. Still haven’t gotten it yet.
it’s invidious. Let your guard down for an instance and it gets. you.

@cenobyte @GottaLaff I got the latest booster and flu shot in September so I started letting my guard down.

@cenobyte @GottaLaff @mikec415 It's a weird one, though. I have a friend who has been MUCH more careful than we have and she's gotten it and we haven't. I guess it's just a being at the wrong place at the wrong time kind of thing.
