“...or isolating your shoes.”

There was a study awhile ago and they sampled the critical care room floor with Covid patients. Something like 5 out of 10 samples came back with Covid.

The nurse's station on that floor had 6(?) out of 10 samples come back with it.

The pharmacy floor on the main floor of the hospital? 10 out of 10!

I have no idea if the samples were viable or not (meaning that you could get infected). As with any virus - they can detect the virus, but testing the viability is problematic.

In any case - since early March I have worn a N95 mask or better, Googles, decon shoes in the garage, change clothing, decon anything that comes in the house.

It was a pain in the beginning, now not a big deal.

I could care less if people wear a mask or not. Or walk down the “wrong way” in the store aisle. I don't care if they give me goofy comments when I'm wearing goggles and a half-mask respirator. (Since early March, when the gov’t was saying you don't need a mask.)

Everybody has their own levels of what they want to deal with in order to maintain their level of safety. Some folks don't think a seat belt is needed. Some folks don't have fire extinguishers. Some folks don't carry a gun everywhere.

I'm not one of those folks. I also don't fear getting into a car wreck every time I go out. Or afraid of a fire. Or afraid of a bad guy. I'm also not afraid of a virus.

You’re not “afraid” of a virus, but you walk around looking like a spaceman everywhere you go?
