Vaccine does the heavy lifting but it's like using weed-n-feed, still need to do some pulling by hand, when the people who believe in sharing illness are actively doing it

Mind you, I only go to town once a month if at all possible. I also live with my 85 year old mom who is diabetic. I also have some respiratory issues. I wouldn't forgive myself if I brought home Covid to my mom.

Neither of us have gotten it. (knock wood)

I think the best thing about wearing a mask is it makes you conscious of touching your face (eyes). I'm very careful to clean my hands and grocery carts. Try not to touch counters etc. So far, so good.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
